From a simple idea to a global platform empowering artists everywhere. Follow our path.
I started working on a side project called Kiambote in late 2019, it was basically a website that I would upload my Dj sets and invite my friends to listen.
The first version was amazing and it was doing everything that I intended to do. Anyone that work on side projects knows that the ideas keep coming one after the other.
I felt that I could give to other Djs to use it as well. Without knowing how to develop a business or to create a product that can handle what a production environment requires, I started working on the technical side, which was all I "knew" how to do.
I kept working and things were progressing and I decided to bring some people to help with other aspects like marketing, branding and design.
We were able to make it to the point where we live streamed from a custom tool and where able to watch the live from a custom web player. Also, the live streaming were being recorded and being watched on demand, which is insane looking back and seeing what the "project" is today.
Unfortunately, all we had was a project with no value to our potential customers (artists) and with almost zero use to the end consumer.
Did I mention that I did not have any business development experience? Yeah, I realized that I needed to learn more about the industry I was trying to get into. Unfortunately, I had to let the people I was working with go, because there was no way to create a real company, provide value to people and make a living of it.
Bringing more people introduced a number of problems that I could never have anticipated. We worked together for a while but unfortunately, things did not work out for different reasons.
We pivoted to technology. Realizing manual management wasn't scalable, we began developing the core of Meuspace and Meustreams. It was a year of coding, testing, and laying the groundwork for a truly automated artist ecosystem.
Official launch of the MeusX platform. We integrated with major DSPs, established our transparent payout system via Stripe, and welcomed our first wave of independent artists looking for freedom.
Expanding our horizons with AI-driven analytics, deeper fan engagement tools, and direct crypto payments. We are committed to remaining the most artist-centric platform in the world.
