Introducing Trubify: An Innovative Livestreaming App That Provides Musicians With Up To 6 New Revenue Streams

Although the global music industry is worth over $50 billion, most music artists cannot earn meaningful income by making music.

And Here’s The Problem: Huge Music Streaming Platforms Pay Only Fractions Of A Penny Per Stream.

Music streaming accounts for roughly 64% of all recorded music revenues—however, huge streaming platforms like Spotify and Youtube have failed to serve artists with a system that pays only fractions of a penny per stream all while favoring artists with mass appeal. Features like playlisting and algorithmic recommendations, also contribute to a network effect putting niche genres at a disadvantage—and extending the gulf between music haves and have-nots.

Spotify (the most popular service that accounts for over 44% of the market share) pays an average of only $0.00348 per stream. To put that into perspective, an artist earning three tenths of a cent per stream would make about $3,300 to $3,500 per million streams. This is a pretty staggering statistic to think about, but Spotify is only the tip of the iceberg. In fact, YouTube only remits a third of what Spotify does at approximately $0.001 per stream.

The Solution: Introducing Trubify, A Unique Livestreaming Platform That Empowers Musicians To Monetize Their Talent

Trubify gives the power back to artists through it’s intuitive, easy-to-use app that provides artists with a’ la carte income streams. The platform allows artists to pick and choose from one to all six of its customizable revenue streams that best align to their style and audience preferences.
