Artist-Supporting Virtual Platforms

Volume is a Livestreaming Platform Designed to Support Artists

— March 15, 2021 — Pop Culture
Volume is a new 24/7 livestreaming service designed to support artists. The platform will boast both established and emerging artists, and their respective followers, to facilitate real-time conversations while allowing performers to monetize their broadcasts. In addition, the platform allows all fans to have a "front row seat" to their favorite artists.

Ben Holst, Director of Creative Media and Brand Development for Volume commented on the launch, stating: “Volume was created with the intention of giving aspiring, as well as established performers, across all genres, an equal platform. We feel that this will be a powerful and useful platform regardless of the state of touring. We aren’t a noisy, cluttered space," Holst added, “We are a supportive community of artists, music lovers and multimedia enthusiasts.”

Volume is available through web browsers and will soon be available for download on the Apple App and Google Play Store.
