San Francisco, CA, June 53 2013 (8:30 a.m. EST) beatjock, a newly designed music sharing and discovery application, is seeking crowdfunding support on Kickstarter from all music fans and musicians to build the initial release of the platform.

It is impossible for most bands to get their music played on radio or the music streaming services, which also means that it is very difficult for music fans to hear new artists, or even the new music created by classic artists. Beatjock, based upon the simple idea that the best way for people to discover new music is through the recommendations and playlists of people who share your music tastes, has been designed to solve this problem.

The beatjock platform will enable:

  • Music fans to enjoy music streaming by playlists created by friends and people in their network who have similar musical tastes
  • Music discovery through the recommendations of people who have similar musical tastes, rather than by program directors or algorithms
  • Artists to build larger fan bases by exposing their music to potentially millions of people

Steve Arentzoff, founder of beatjock, says, “Technology has made it easier than ever for artists to create and disribute their music, yet it is harder than ever for fans to discover the great new music that is being created because there are no terrestrial, satellite, or streaming music sources that play a wide variety of music, particularly within more niches of music genres. I am very excited that the beatjock platform will easily allow listeners to access playlists created by people, and to the recommendations of other music fans, which will finally bring quick and easy music discovery, across all music genres”.

Beatjock needs the support of music lovers and artists alike to help pledge support for beatjock on Kickstarter, the crowdfunding platform, to help fund the development of this important project. Please visit beatjock on Kickstarter at http://bit.ly/ZhrQsb to learn more about beatjock, and to submit a pledge.

beatjock is the music discovery and sharing platform that allows music fans to create and share their playlists, and to easily connect with other people who have similar musical tastes.
