Indiepush, a Ramallah-based online music platform that connects fans to their favorite indie artists is taking on MENA’s multi-million dollar music industry full force.
The startup focuses on the personal and emotional interaction between indie artists and their fans by providing tools for musicians to market, share and sell music directly through their fan’s social media networks. There is also a gaming aspect to Indiepush, which uses a points system to reward fans for sharing/selling music.
For music fans by musicians
Indiepush was founded by Mahmood Jrere (CEO), Abed Hathut (COO) and Nihad Awidat (CTO), three individuals with strong musical backgrounds. They say it seemed like the perfect time to start the venture, as they themselves could not find a platform where they could easily promote their own music.
Jrere, a musician himself, is a member of Dam – the first Palestinian hip-hop group, founded in 1999. Hatout, from a rock music background, started the rock band Khalas. And Awidat’s background is in electronic music production.
“Indiepush started from passion and love and from a place where musicians could have a platform that was easy to promote themselves and reach a wider crowd,” Jrere says.
