App for Live Music is Here. limelight, a live streaming music video app, is
available in the App Store, for
free. Android and Web App is on it’s way.
Enter Limelight. A
virtual venue for indie and emerging artists to gain an audience while preserving the concert experience for
proven headliners. Performances are broadcast live from a smartphone to a
dedicated music community.
Free, Easy and Fun.
Limelight is free to use for everyone, and provides a clean, intuitive interface that allows artists and
venues to interact directly with their fans in a fun, gamified experience.
Money for Artists and Venues. The app
helps content creators make money by providing a customizable fan club that monetizes their portfolio of past
performances, all while keeping live shows totally free.
“This app is a bridge starting
from the artists to a global fan base,” Limelight CEO and Founder
Melanie Mandarano said. “We wanted to
build a platform and a community where
fans can discover, experience and
interact with artists from a concert level, something we felt was missing in
the independent artist community.”
Artists Love Limelight. Developed
to help artists further their career, Limelight has been testing this app with over 200 artists, ranging from independent
and emerging, to established artists. CEO and Co-Founder, Melanie Mandarano
tested a beta version of limelight with Particle
Kid on tour with The Flaming Lips
and The Claypool Lennon Delirium. Justin Bieber discussed the concept with COO and Founder, Michelina
Mandarano, where he said he loved it and thought it was a dope idea.
During beta testing, Limelight partnered with music label HRDRV for a two-week Virtual Artist
Camp that featured a Grammy Award
winning panel of producers and songwriters, which culminated in an exclusive
live performance on limelight. Singerc,
producer, Gene said, “With
limelight, I know going on to this app, it’s like going to a show. You
come on here because you want that vibe and to be part of the community. It was
as if I was in Manhattan in the lower east side hopping from Pianos to Rockwood
Music Hall. You get that intimacy with good content and good people with good
messages.”
R&B Soul Singer Chelsamina said,
“with limelight, it provides artists the
ability to make money in the app. This app adds so much
value and is really cool.” Chelsamina continues, “The main reason I love
limelight is because it’s for the artists more than for the company. Limelight is basically saying, we have this
cool live stream, but this is how it can benefit you, give yourself value, and
create a fanbase that’s real. The fans are committed to you and waiting for
your content and creates that system for an artist that’s really hard to
develop.”
Map the Music. Artists and venues can
create events or sync their schedule, and events are featured on the homepage and in an interactive map that
provides visibility and access to live shows across the country.
Rewards for Everyone. A
point system distributed through the app will award engaged users with exclusive gifts and giveaways to keep them coming back
for more.
Limelight is the Future. As a
result of rapid changes in the digital age, artist revenue streams for recorded music have been in steady decline, placing
the primary burden on live
concerts and tours for musicians to make money.
But with the landscape of live music devastated by COVID-19, resulting in musicians
canceling in-person performances and delaying their tours indefinitely, live
streaming has become a crucial element necessary for success. Recognizing these
challenges, limelight presents the solution to problems raised in the
post-Covid 19 marketplace and on.
