Music Events

Before live streaming, events were limited by the size of the venue, the budget, or even the parking. That’s no longer true. Live streaming allows you to completely disregard these barriers and reach a global audience. You can hold a small, intimate event in your home or office. But simultaneously, you can reach thousands or even millions of people around the world. Essentially, live streaming allows everyone world wide exposure. And with live streaming, you can reach every person with an internet connection. Last I checked, that was 3.17 billion.
