Super excited for my boy Rome Fortune to launch his app today! Rome is an Atlanta-based rapper I've been supporting for a few years who is really starting to get some traction. He hooked up with my guy @sammybauch to build this app that lets Rome's fans chat 1-on-1 with the man himself. You can also stream Rome's music, there's a store to shop his merch, and some other fun little surprises. ;)
@garyvee nice! this is like King for a Day, but with one dude :) haha. Like this idea of making an artist more approachable, how cool if he blows up and you "know" him from back in the day! ;)
@rrhoover@garyvee yup, Ethan was inspirational here. but he's gone in a bit of a different direction. The main difference for me is that this is a tool for a musician to deepen his relationship with fans, rather than just a random person to text.
As @rrhoover alluded to above, the app is definitely influenced by Ethan and the model of "message one person" that he created, so a big debt is owed there. I'd also like to add that the app was built with a lot of components / SDKs found on PH. Modest, JSQMessageViewController, Kickflip, Crashlytics, etc.
@garyvee Gary - Looks like you've been a member of ProductHunt for a while, but this is your first hunt. What does it take for Gary Vaynerchuk to personally want to promote someone's product? #AskGaryVee
