What's Subjam?

Subjam is a new live broadcasting app that focuses on all of the different local, independent music scenes everywhere in the world. Our aim is to provide the best online space for all of you bands, artists and musicians, venues and businesses to promote and communicate with your local community and beyond, in an exciting live online environment.

 

We believe in:

  • Local/Independent/DIY music culture
  • Open media licensing
  • Open media formats and codecs
  • Free and Open Source Software
  • Supporting local communities

 

Our Android and iOS beta apps are available now. There’s currently basic functionality to start a live broadcast (which gets recorded and is sharable), listen to live and recorded broadcasts, search for and subscribe to other users, and customize your profile (including a Bio section and links to external sites).

 

More functionality is possible with financial help from people like you.

 

Next features to implement:

  • Scene group support
  • Venue specific profiles
  • Upvoting, commenting, DMs
  • Live video streaming
  • Local event calendars
  • Embedded live web player
  • Much, much more…

We're an SPC

Subjam is a Social Purpose Corporation. This is different than a traditional corporation in that we voluntarily list specific social purposes in our charter (articles of incorporation). These are legally binding and allow us to support music in ways traditional corporations can’t.

Our social purposes are to:

  1. Positively affect global music culture
  2. Support music communities
  3. Promote content under free/libre licenses
  4. Promote Free and Open Source Software (F/OSS) and media codecs
