A Scalable Music Streaming App for Independent Artists

The client operates in the entertainment tech space, aiming to bridge the gap between independent artists and music fans. They provide a digital platform for artists to share their music directly with listeners, fostering a community-driven music experience.

The client wanted to develop a music streaming app where artists could upload their songs and fans could listen to their favourite independent artists without interruption. Their main requirement was to support a high volume of concurrent users with a smooth streaming experience.

Ekotek developed a robust music streaming platform, leveraging modern web and mobile technologies to ensure seamless access for millions of users. A cloud-based streaming infrastructure was implemented to optimise performance and prevent lags during peak usage.

Key features include:

• Listening to MP3 tracks: Users can enjoy high-quality audio streaming directly in the app.
• Create/Edit playlist: Listeners can personalise their music experience by building and managing playlists.
• Top-up for music access: A payment system allows users to deposit funds and unlock premium streaming features.

The platform is gaining momentum as an artist-first solution, praised for redefining music streaming through direct per-stream monetisation. It has quickly attracted attention post-Grammys for addressing critical industry gaps such as artist compensation, transparency, and fan engagement. Artists now earn up to three times more than traditional models, with real-time payouts and clear transaction tracking boosting trust and adoption.
