From our point of view, the internets contribution to both live music and the music industry has yet to be fully realised. Having run live music events in the past, we hit a wall streaming music content through whats currently available. Chew is the DJs live streaming platform.
 Our users can stream from the browser or our mobile app, right up to professional level broadcasting equipment. And while we have the core features youll find with our competitors, what makes us different is our focus on music content. We have a proactive approach to licensing. With our technology and our expertise, we want to become the platform for live music events. We make sharing compliant live content easy!
