Music producer Raymond Sibanda who is affectionately known as Rayobeats recently launched a music streaming platform called Audiocus.
Just like other music streaming platforms, Audiocus which is still work in progress, allows creatives to sign up , stream and upload their music/podcasts on their own.
In an interview with The ZimTainment, Rayobeats mentioned that Audiocus is a free platform and is open to any artist who wishes to have their music there.
“Audiocus is open to anyone who has rights or owns the audio content they want to publish on Audiocus,” he said.
“Since Audiocus is still being developed, some features will soon be available for artists so that there is transparency. We have Adsense to help cover expenses that are needed to run such a platform, for instance storage and bandwidth.”
Rayobeats admitted that they have been getting positive feedback from artists and fans who have used Audiocus so far and this has motivated him and his team to keep on improving the music platform.
“The response we have been getting is pretty good. The platform is growing and a lot of indie artists with foresight are getting the vision,” he said.
Rayobeats and his team are also working towards launching a mobile application for Audiocus since it can only be accessed on Web at the moment.
“We are working on the Audiocus mobile application and it is 99% ready. It will be out very soon and we will announce on our social media handles when it is out,” he said.
Once Audiocus is fully set up, artists will be able to benefit from music streams just like other music streaming platforms.
“We also have a monetisation program that we are perfecting and once we are done we will announce,” said Rayobeats.
