Zing May Be The Ultimate Solution For Street Musicians

HONG KONG, June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Zing, a music application set to launch in August 2018 may be the ultimate solution for street musicians. Through integrating the three key elements – easy music composing, collaborative music production and music IP protection via blockchain technology and infusing them with a social media environment, this app can pull street artists off the streets and balance the scales between them and the mainstream artists.

Street musicians can be found all over the world, from the romantic streets of Venice to the hustling streets of Las Vegas as well as the rustic settings of Asia. Street musicians, unlike their famous counterparts, the mainstream musicians, possess neither the fame nor relative earning power. In fact, street musicians earn mainly from tips, and their incomes are highly irregular.

In recent years, street musicians face an even bigger challenge, this time from the government. Many countries and regions around the world including the United States, Russia, Australia and Hong Kong limit street musicians' access to audiences. Countries like France, England and Singapore require street musicians to apply for special licenses and permits to continue to perform in specific locations. These licenses and permits often involve a hefty fee. These acts place an even bigger burden on the street musicians who are already struggling to make ends meet.

However, street musicians are a special breed. Most of them have dreams and aspirations to one day join the mainstream and become rich and famous. This is the sole reason why so many of them choose to hang on even when faced with the many difficulties. As it is in other industries, there are some truly talented street musicians who deserve to be in the mainstream and showcase their talents to a wider audience.

Zing (www.zingasong.com), a music creation app infused with social media elements and the latest blockchain technology looks set to provide such a platform for talented street musicians to showcase their talents. With the "collaborative music production" mechanics of Zing, the street musicians can showcase their different talents based on their own strengths. They can choose to compose the melody of a song, pen the lyrics to an existing melody or merely sing the works of other composers. With the influx of many "A List" artists into the app, they may even get the chance to work with these artists to produce even higher quality works.

Other than providing the perfect platform for musicians and artists from all levels to showcase their talents and garner followers, Zing's ecosystem is supported by its very own currency, Zing Credits. With Zing Credits, the economic benefits of these groups are secured. Each original music, song and lyrics can be differentiated by the unique "music fingerprints" function of Zing and recorded as an IP protection in the blockchain. The singers who receive Zing Credits from the public users as well as advertisers will in turn have to share a percentage of their earnings with the original music composers and the lyricists, thus creating a win-win situation for all involved. This helps to protect the economic benefits of the original music composers, the lyricists who penned the song and the singers who popularized the works.

There is no segregation of social status, earning power, race or religion in Zing. Music lovers from different backgrounds, economic strengths and personal connections can all come together to participate in the creation of a new hit. Zing is expected to launch full scale on Android and iOS platforms in August this year!
