How does this compare to live video via Facebook or Twitter? Do you port artists existing followers over or is this meant for emerging artists?

@epoppel Hey Elliot! Good question, you can share to both Twitter and Facebook but can't import followers or anything. It's meant for emerging artists but also people who are looking to monetize in a powerful way (more so than ads). Depending on where you are in your career, it may be worth it to re-grow or transfer your following over, in a similar way to how people might try and transfer their following onto Snapchat or another new platform.

@jay_azhang @epoppel How do you define "emerging artists" and how do you acquire the musicians you want to see on the service? I'd be interested to know how this affects the content-acquisition process.

@adammarx13 @epoppel Appreciate the interaction! We define it fairly loosely actually, anybody that is serious about their music and trying to get to the point where they are fully supporting themselves through their music craft. That being said there are also musicians who are already past this point who we think the platform/community would be appealing to be a part of.

First of all, great idea. How do you think that musicians can use this to engage with their audience? It would be amazing if you could peek into album recordings and have musicians A/B test some songs or lyrics with influence from their audience

@piero_ruiz Hey Pedro! Thank you for the compliment :) Those are some great use cases that we've already been seeing along with some other awesome content, such as taking requests from viewers while DJing at a club, giving free vocal lessons, backstage Q&As and artists actually crowdsourcing all the lyrics to a song! Krue really is an open vessel for musicians to not only put out content easily but to take advantage of the interaction to turn viewers into fans and fans into superfans. We're really excited to see how the community takes the platform and makes it their own through their creativity and passion for music.

Hey everyone! Thank you Andrew for posting this! I’m one of the co-founders of Krue, a live streaming app for musicians to perform, share, and engage with fans around the world. Twitch used the power of live, interactive streaming to change the gaming industry. The music industry is long overdue for change, so our goal is similar: create a global community that fuels talented musicians on a verticalized live streaming platform. Musicians will soon be able to get tips from their fans from both iOS and desktop. So far, our artists love the app and are excited to have a platform just for them! We’d really appreciate your feedback and I'll be here to answer any questions. We’ll also be at SXSW at both the interactive & music expo - if you’re around stop by our booth and say hi! -Juyan

What is your views on player embeddability and open distribution? do you believe that having your streams everywhere is beneficial to the artist, or are you a closed garden?

I saw this the other day and joined a live stream that was actually local here in Santa Monica. The stream seemed to be great, everyone was commenting on the advantages of Krue over existing platforms (amongst other commenting), and I think the team is really on to something. Congrats to @jay_azhang and the Krue team on this!
