Q: Can you give us more insights into your offering?
A: Go To Hear was established in 2017 in Settle, North Yorkshire, UK to improve the music industry with a fairer financial model.
A UK study by YouGov, on behalf of the #BrokenRecord campaign, found that 77% of respondents thought artists are not being paid enough, while 76% felt songwriters were also underpaid. The current system is unethical and unsustainable and Go To Hear aims to change this by providing a streaming platform for artists that puts right the inherent failings of other streaming services.
Q: What can we expect from your company in the next 6 months? What are your plans?
A: We have a working platform now, with many artists and songs already uploaded and available to stream and download but it is just the start of a continual development roadmap. Over the next months we’re inviting EVERYONE to get involved to help us to help make the Music Industry better – Musicians, Listeners and Industry – we want to encourage everyone who values music to take a look, register, upload music, listen, blog/write about their music interests and releases and get the crowd marketing their content at our website.
