There is a new digital music streaming service in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But unlike the platforms currently available in the region, this one has been created by a Trinidadian who believes an indigenous platform is what we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joseph and his company DianJen intends to place Caribbean music in front of a regional audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think we can do a better job of monetising our content. People talk about not getting paid from international streaming services and the bigger artistes do get paid but in terms of monetisation and representation of our people and culture and packaging we really need this indigenous platform,\u201d he told Loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The platform launched in beta form this week. It is a website and a progressive web app which means that the app runs from the browser so it creates a short cut from your device to the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
