About
The creators of the platform state that they established the platform with the view to allow artists to connect with their audience without the need to “boost their post on Facebook each time they want to reach more than their current organic reach”.
GigRev has an app available for Android and iOS, allowing users exclusive content through this app, as well as artists the chance to live stream, upload photos, sell merchandise, release songs and provide information for upcoming gigs. GigRev also offers a subscription-based service and plan to move into other industries outside of music.
