According to [Billboard](http://www.billboard.com/?ref=hypebot.com), [Indie music](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent%5Fmusic?ref=hypebot.com) comprises 34.5% of the [United States music](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music%5Fof%5Fthe%5FUnited%5FStates?ref=hypebot.com) industry market. It is notoriously an underserved sector – Platformz [mobile app](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile%5Fapp?ref=hypebot.com) aims to change that. The app aims to connect [artists](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist?ref=hypebot.com) to their audiences in a new and increasingly meaningful way. Platformz gives artist's access to their most [streamed](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming%5Fmedia?ref=hypebot.com) music and **breaks down the data into how long their music was streamed and where the traffic is coming from regionally, nationally, and even around the world.** Being able to crack open this data could prove extremely valuable to Indie artists.

Created for music lovers by music lovers, Platformz actively serves both sides of the mobile app. **Acting as an aggregated [Google search engine](http://google.com/?ref=hypebot.com) for Indie music**, it serves as one stop shop for accessing music from your favorite artists while opening the door to new music discovery. Integrating data from pre-existing platforms like Audiomack, [Soundcloud](http://soundcloud.com/?ref=hypebot.com), etc it has the potential to be a powerhouse if utilized by artists and listeners.

“Considering the immense amount of music content available to the public, and as an independent artist myself, I wanted to create a product that reduced the frustration of discovering new indie music,” said Todd Dahn, founder of Platformz. “**By bringing together portals the public is already familiar with sifting through, and integrating them into one experience, Platformz means less time searching and more time for listening**.”

Platformz is currently available for download on the [ iTunes store](https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=897248339&mt=8&ref=hypebot.com).
