Building THE market place for music
Helping artists, labels and brands engage with fans
Openwhyd provides the social graph and musical interests to promote new releases, EP, tracks, albums, upcoming concerts, sponsored campaigns
e.g: Label because music promotes Electric Guests' latest EP to the people who like the artist or similar artists and music genres.
Openwhyd will take a cut on transactions made from within the app: Concert ticketing / Artist merchandise / Special records
e.g: Tony Listened listened to 3 songs by Metronomy and Openwhyd suggests upcoming shows to him in his area. Tony can buy it directly from Whyd
Openwhyd provides verified accounts, personalized dashboard and exclusive features for music professionals and consumer brands.
e.g. Concert venue Glazart has stats on people who listen to upcoming music in their specific geographic area/which bands are trending there.
Openwhyd captures music interests and social data to deliver services and purchasing opportunities into the user experience
Music partners share their Openwhyd page on their social network
Our focus is to leverage our actual partners and become the required platform for music professionals
