Show4me Music Interaction Network is an all-in-one system for unsigned and signed musicians and their fans as well as for record labels, concert promoters and other music industry professionals. The network gives essential tools for direct artist and fan interaction and music monetization, such as: • Annual subscription • Concert crowdfunding • Music crowdfunding • Music sales All tools are combined on a single music-related network to give artists a decent reward and genuine appreciation for their art.

And by applying a powerful combination of all toolkits, musicians can organize concerts and shows, sell music without financial risks and losses as well as build and manage successful music careers; fans can take part in the creative process of music creation of their favorite artists; and record labels and concert promoters can use Show4me to promote their artists. Show4me is the project of the UK-based company Wefuture Ltd. It has started and operated since 2015 as a concert crowdfunding platform until the board has decided to expand it into a complete music interaction network to open broader opportunities for the musicians. The goal of Show4me is to level the playing field for musicians and give the opportunity to get a fair reward for their art by building a close relationship with their fans through Show4me direct interaction model. With Show4me, every artist gets equal chances to get noticed, gain fame and recognition and make a true life-long living as a full-time musician
Kobalt is one of the world’s largest, most innovative music companies, using technology to power creative freedom, transparency, ownership and control for artists, songwriters, publishers, and labels. As file-sharing wreaked havoc on the record industry, Kobalt took a bet on digital music and won. Founded in 2000 by Swedish entrepreneur Willard Ahdritz, the startup built a platform to maximize efficiency, accuracy, and transparency across the billions of micro-payments collected in today’s highly complex digital world. As traditional music companies fought technology and contracted, Kobalt embraced it and grew, building an infrastructure and world-class creative team purposely designed to usher in the streaming era, along with a more fair, rewarding music business for creators. Today, Kobalt has over 700 employees in 12 offices around the world, represents over 20,000 artists and songwriters, 600,000 songs and 600 publishing companies, and continues to push its disruptive philosophy and values into other areas of the music industry. Recent innovations like AWAL, an alternative to the traditional record label, and AMRA, the world’s first global digital performing rights organization, are both considered major agents of change in their respective businesses. Kobalt is proud to work with some of the world’s greatest artists and songwriters, representing on average over 60% of the top 100 songs in both the US and UK. Kobalt clients include Childish Gambino, Marshmello, Beck, Wolf Alice, Max Martin, Bob Dylan, Ozuna, Tash Sultana, Paul McCartney and MPL Communications, Disney Music Group, and many more.
