What is LUM?
LUM operates as a music streaming and discovery application, distinguished by its stand-alone social network infrastructure. The platform is engineered to empower emerging artists by facilitating music circulation and fan base expansion. A core differentiator for LUM is its dedicated focus on nascent talent, enhancing fan-to-artist and peer-to-peer engagement through gamified music discovery. Furthermore, the introduction of a virtual gifting system in January 2020 established a novel direct-to-artist financial support mechanism. Artists leverage LUM to upload content and cultivate connections with their audience, while fans discover new music by interacting within their social communities and peer networks.
