Bojam: Open sourcing Music!

Sardar Mohkim Khan 

Mix, record and collaborate is what  Bojam is about and it does that providing an online platform for musicians across the world. Musicians can seek musicians, play instruments separately and then amalgamate them together.

Where users across the globe interact with each other and add information to create an encyclopedia and develop softwares individual to put them forth. Bojam open sources everything there is about music  and enables users to add information about the song, lyrics, artists by providing a wiki-style platform.

To be more precise Bojam comes at cutting costs of buying musical instruments with its collaboration system. Let’s say you have a friend who is good with guitars, another fit for drumming and you can sing, but distance separates you into becoming a team. Bojam removes this wall and let you create your songs with real time collaboration. Another plus is once your songs are composed and ready, they can be monetized by selling them via iTunes and Rhapsody. Meaning your efforts get paid.

The idea is pretty good and is definitely set to be a winner once it comes out. CEO Andrew Greenstein counts musicians around the world to number over 60 million. Given such a large market, I bet the team has come with an ingredient that’s bound to cook success.
