6 Apps That Are Helping New Musicians Succeed
While we see hundreds of music apps on the play stores and app stores for music-lovers to listen to and download their favorite songs, there aren’t many for budding artists and musicians. These are the people who might be looking to connect with other music artists and succeed in their music careers. However, in the recent past, new apps made their way into app stores for musicians to connect with each other in same vicinities, find local musicians and discover new spaces to display their music. Succeeding as a musician in a highly competitive world is no joke. But there’s a ray of hope for newbie musicians now. Here are our 6 favorite apps that are helping new musicians succeed and get in touch with their contemporaries:1. Jambro
Referred to as a ‘Tinder for musicians’, the app’s goal is to be the best possible solution for musicians at a time when quite often they are not given due worth, respect and opportunities. Since one of the major obstacles musicians face is the lack of space to get together and play music, the founders of Jambro decided to help musicians get over this major obstacle. The makers of this app spoke about the vision behind Jambro and said that they want local musicians to get out of their comfort zones and get together as a community that loves and creates music. Jambro is easy to use - whether you are a guitarist, singer or pianist, all you need to do is search the app to find other musicians in your vicinity.2. BandFriend
This app presents a new way to local musicians to collaborate by providing them with a great opportunity to jam together, come up with a new band or even have study sessions together. The app detects your location and subsequently shows you possible matches who share your skills, interests and favorite music styles. Even if you are new to learning an instrument and are an upcoming budding artist, the app still lets you connect with others to study and learn the instrument together. BandFriend also has SoundCloud and YouTube integration which lets the musicians show off their talent online and also watch videos and listen to songs by other artists in an attempt to help them find the perfect match.3. GigTown
Providing musicians with an opportunity to market themselves for free on a broader stage, GigTown brings musicians, venues and party planners together. The real power and strength of this app is in its ability to connect musicians, fans and venues in a brilliant manner. Moreover, with the option to search musician profiles, this app is a great way to establish connections beyond the already established world of music. The app allows musicians to upload audio tracks, video performances and personal information, which besides helping them promote themselves, also connects them with other artists who share similar interests.4. Musicr
If you are looking for awesome musicians to jam out with, this app will help you do just that. Musicr is designed to bring local musicians together for the love of music. Users of the app simply fill a profile that showcases their interests and proficiency and the instruments that they like to play. Musicians can then search for people with similar music interests and connect with them, form a band together, practice with each other and also share music tricks and tips.5. Indaba Music
This app is more like an online community that brings musicians, the general public publishers, and radio stations, together It is a wonderful platform for new and old musicians to collaborate, work on music recordings, and interact with music professionals and fans alike. Users of this app can also add new tracks or work on existing ones in an attempt to make music with people all around the world who share similar interests.6. Sonicbids
This is more of an interactive open space for musicians and promoters to help them get together, collaborate and come up with jamming sessions and gigs. It also allows budding musicians to get more gigs, attain industry exposure and network with other musicians.

Additionally, independent musicians can also connect with promoters and music-loving audience to expand their music careers. The music industry is growing industry which is in the process of expanding and reaching out to an ever-increasing audience. While these apps and platforms are definitely helping new musicians succeed in what they love and gain exposure, an underlying reason for the growth of this industry is music’s positive effect on brain health.Author Bio

Wow..! That was a great resource ever. Really very helpful for them, who’s want to be musicians. Thanks for sharing this with us.
A tinder for musicians. Haha. Going to try Gigtown though.
Jambro has 100-500 downloads on Google Play… not sure how useful that can be honestly. I’ve used Vampr multiple times which seems to have way more active musicians on there. Google says between 100,000-500,000 users.
jambro appears to only be useful to those living in Asia. No NA presence that I can see as of Jan 2019

BandFriend and Jambro look really cool! Never heard of them before, but could be a lot of fun!
Hows about mentioning some apps that help you keep your band organized?
I’ve got a 9-piece funk band and I was having a heck of a time wrangling my musicians for gigs. Getting all the info out on time, making set lists and remembering to pay everyone sucks.
I’m so happy I found Back On Stage! Make sure you check out https://backonstageapp.com!
