Hey Product Hunt, Rhian here. Along with our co-founders Jon Gray, Ian Edelman and Kid Cudi, all of us at Team Encore are on a mission to get artists paid for their art. Encore Studio has created an entirely new medium for live performance: mobile, gamified and directly monetized. Built alongside hundreds of hip-hop artists in Los Angeles, including Kid Cudi, Too $hort and Kyle, Encore Studio provides artists with a live mobile production studio in their pocket. We’re reimagining live performance for the mobile-only generation. Artists can host a virtual show, design an Augmented Reality environment, and add in custom artwork, 3D objects, and visual effects. Once an artist has designed their AR environment, they can go live at any time, from anywhere - transforming a living room into a live stage. Transform your living room into a live stage. The music industry is stuck. For decades, the money-makers in music have been live events and merch, which are neither accessible to most artists nor scalable for the rest. Social media - where artists spend all of their time - forces them to give away content for free in order to catch a following in the hopes that this translates to DSP streams, where artists make fractions of a penny. Music is art. Art has value. Everything an artist does on the Encore Studio App is an opportunity to get paid for their art – artists can perform music, interact with fans, host a listening party, hold live polls, or stream an event from an iPhone, all while monetizing the experience via ten-cent claps (Encore’s in-app currency). Encore Studio is free for artists to use and they take home 80% of the revenue generated through claps from their fans. Introducing Encore Studio. A studio in your pocket. Now it’s your turn to experience Encore: If you’re an artist (or aspiring to be one), download Encore Studio in the App Store and create your first show. For a limited time, we’ll guarantee you $150 for your first show.* If you’re a music lover, download Encore in the App Store or Google Play Store to catch live music on your phone. We’ll give you $10 to support artists. *Show must have minimum 20 attendees to be eligible.

Love the drag-and-drop AR builder. Made some fun videos with it. How long are most of the shows on Encore?

@yev_yev_yev about 15 minutes! Think of them as mini-concerts.

very easy to use creator app with several templates to jump right into AR. once there you can customize the scene and personalize the environment which is pretty fun, then live stream right from your pocket. there are some really cool interactive features while streaming as well... i was able to bring up a couple viewers to a live video chat during the performance!

@reid_moran Thanks for checking it out!
