NEW YORK-based social radio platform STATIONHEAD, which counts KEVIN LILES and DOWNTOWN MUSIC PUBLISHING among its investors, now has on-demand capabilities, according to MUSIC BUSINESS WORLDWIDE
The DIY platform allows users to create their own radio station and connect over interactive audio content with live talk, guest callers and messaging. More than 200,000 shows have been created by hosts on the platform since it launched in NOVEMBER 2018.
STATIONHEAD is integrated with SPOTIFY and APPLE MUSIC so every listener counts as an individual paid stream for every song played. Songs from APPLE MUSIC and SPOTIFY are not recorded for the new on-demand feature. Only voices and chat on the shows are recorded. The company claims that some artists have seen more than a 100% increase in streams through its platform.
Other investors in the platform include such industry stalwarts as JASON FLOM, STEVE GREENBERG, JULIE GREENWALD,, DAVID MASSE and ROUND HILL MUSIC PUBLISHING. Advisors include RAEKWON and STEVIE VAN ZANDT.
Said STATIONHEAD CEO/Co-Founder RYAN STAR, “We believe that by allowing people to share their stories through voice and music, we can help people feel connected to each other and positively impact the world around us. This new medium has a way of tearing down the walls to reveal our truest most authentic selves to each other.”
