Mdundo has partnered with Safaricom to launch a new subscription service that will enable Kenyans to access DJ Mixes at Ksh 5 per day. The service also aims at improving monetization of music among artists and reshape user experiences.
The service, which is exclusive to Safaricom customers, can be accessed by registering here after which customers can discover new artists or enjoy unlimited music downloads and fresh DJ mixes daily. By providing a consistent income stream, the partnership supports artists in their pursuit of sustainable music careers. A healthy financial pipeline allows artists to focus on creating more music and developing their talent.
“Collaborating with Safaricom to introduce our subscription plan is a partnership that re-enforces our commitment to enriching lives through music. Together, we are unlocking amazing benefits for music and DJ Mixes enthusiasts. Our collaboration with Safaricom not only enhances the user experience but also underscores our shared vision of making music an integral part of everyday life,” says Martin Neilsen, CEO – Mdundo.com.
