appLOUD

appLOUD is a platform that aims to revolutionize the live music experience by allowing fans to monetize fan-generated live performance videos on behalf of their favorite artists. The app enables fans to follow live concerts of their favorite artists and music genres worldwide and share their videos through appLOUD. Users can tag artists' Twitter handles, and the app tags the videos with LOVE, SHARE, GO, and GIVE buttons. The LOVE button enhances the video's ranking, the SHARE button enables sharing on other social networks, and the GO button directs fans to live shows. Importantly, the GIVE button allows fans to tip artists, with amounts ranging from $1-$20, directly supporting the artists.

appLOUD simplifies the process for artists to start earning through the platform. By signing up and providing their PayPal accounts, artists can start receiving funds. The app also collects data, allowing venues and promoters to search the most popular videos by genre and location, aiding them in booking well-followed artists in their areas. Moreover, a simple CMS tool gives artists full control over the buttons.

Founded by music industry aficionado Cecilia Pagkalinawan in 2014, appLOUD was created to promote the exchange of gratitude and support between artists and fans through sharing live performances. Currently based in Brooklyn, New York, the company focuses its coverage on three metropolitan areas across the U.S and U.K. Its unique approach to bridging the gap between artists and their fans through live performances and direct support has the potential to disrupt the music industry.
