We bring more singing to the world.
Singing connects deeply with us as humans. Historically, it was a precursor to the evolution of language and speech. Before we articulated thoughts through words, we communicated through song. This form of expression reaches deep, tapping into parts of ourselves that plain words cannot, revealing hidden facets of our being. The original and most popular musical instrument, the human voice transcends all cultures and societies. This universal appeal inspired the creation of Singa.
Singa offers the most enjoyable and accessible singing experience—anytime, anywhere, on any device.
We are revolutionizing how the industry operates, making singing more accessible worldwide. Whether youre a seasoned professional, a beginner, a casual shower singer, or someone who needs help to stay on pitch, Singa is for you. Sing alone, host a karaoke party, or visit a Singa-powered venue—the choice is yours. Singa is here to help you express yourself wherever you are.
Start your Singa journey today and discover the joy of singing.

UGmore is a Finnish mobile application developer co-founded by entertainment, web, mobile and games industry veterans. The mission of the company is to create applications that help entertainment and sports industry stars to enable closer communication with their fans and to create direct income to themselves by doing that.
UGmore's first product PEEK is a new and exclusive social fan application on mobile. Peek is an innovative way for fans to get exclusive information about their stars and for the stars to get direct income from their fanbase. The idea of the application is that the star shares personal messages, videos and other special content about his or her life and gets a compensation for these actions. On the other side the fans pay a small monthly fee for every star whom they follow. As the star and the fan have made a real connection, Peek has reached its goal.
It’s easy, fast and truly exclusive way for the stars and fans to get closer to each other.
Check out our crowdfunding campaign currently running for a limited time in FundedByMe.
