An internet content provider (LLC) has unveiled an internet-based platform, Vibrer, to amongst other things, help artistes struggling with the hurdles of getting sponsorship showcase their talents and to also give music lovers an opportunity to have direct access to their favourite artistes.
Speaking at the global launch of the platform in Abuja, African Representative of Vibrer, Doris Iwunze, said that unlike other social media platforms in existence, the app gives artistes the advantage of earning money while they showcase their talents, as the platform is designed to revolutionalise the way musicians and music enthusiasts discover, share and experience music.
Though Vibrer already has presence in Dubai, United Aranb Emirates (UAE) and Europe, Iwunze explained that the choice of Nigeria as the first country for its global launch was not far from the great influence the country’s music industry has on Africa and the world at large due to her rich musical culture and wealth of talents.
According to her, there is an ongoing singing contest aimed at providing users with dynamic opportunities for engagement, talent showcase and community participation. In addition, artistes could go live to connect with fans, perform and interact with fans, receive virtual gifts and tips for their performances.
Iwunze said, “Vibrer is a social media platform with a blend of music. It is a platform for artistes to showcase their talents and at the same time reach a wide range of audience.
“There is a place for everyone; there is a place for an artiste, there is a place for new music lovers, there is a place for those who have already arrived in the music industry and there is also a place for art commerce.
“Vibrer is a place where artists can earn while they showcase their talents. Also, fans get to reach their favorite artistes and have direct access to their favorite artistes.
“I am not sure we have ever had a blend of social interaction and music streaming ever. There is no end to what is available on Vibrer because we do all genres of music; there is a place for content creators and music influencers. There is a place for DJs, there is a place for dancers. So, you have a pool of options depending on your kind of music.
“We are bringing a platform where young musicians, those who do not have people who sponsor or help them, can find a place where they can express and showcase their talent and reach a very wide audience at the same time.”
Speaking further, she said, “Vibrer is a web and mobile app blending social media with a music focus. It features music and video posts, content sharing, in-app chat and live streaming.
“Similar to Tiktok, it includes virtual gifts, a way for the artistes to earn and monetise their content, offering an interactive platform for music lovers and creators. The platform is a movement that helps artistes realise their dreams and allows music lovers to enjoy different genres of music.
“Vibrer aims to provide a unique, engaging experience for its users, connecting them through music and video in a dynamic online community. The goal is to combine and reshape the music and social media industries, creating a fun and connected musical community.
