The spotlight falls on two startups with virtually two different, but yet interesting offerings. While one is pure tech-driven, the other is leveraging technology to cater for lifestyle in an interesting way. All the same, they are proof of tech diversity in Nigeria.
Studiolyf
The Nigerian music industry is gradually weaning most music loving Nigerians off foreign music. This has further engendered the interest of many in the arts. However, connecting one’s passion for music with the rightful opportunity to become a music star is not as easy as it sounds.
“At Studiolyf, our purpose is to help people find great local recording studios or hire music professionals,” says Ezeh Uche -- founder and CEO.
Launched on the 31st of August 2016, Studiolyf offers a simple way to connect with potential music artists or clients in your neighborhood. “By so doing we allow them to take a step back from marketing themselves or their label so as to focus on their music,” Uche adds.
With the platform built to find and discover great local music studios or music production professionals online, Studiolyf hopes to make life a lot easier for users and clients.
Engineers list their music studios or instrument, fill out past clients that have recorded songs in the studio, list the price and days of availability. Interested users find them by using the map-integrated search feature.
“We are introducing a new product in Africa, there is no software company that does what we are trying to implement, and that is an advantage we are trying to leverage on” Ezeh concludes.
