Hollywood, CA – January 28, 2015 – bBooth, Inc. (OTCQB: BBTH), The Talent Discovery Company, announces today it has entered into definitive agreements and closed the acquisition of the intellectual property and certain other assets of technology company Songstagram Inc. The acquisition will add a new dimension to the Company’s mall-based audition booth platform, bringing talent discovery and interactive music streaming together in the palm of your hand. Built on a robust social media platform with state-of-the-art messaging and video sharing technology, the new app, tentatively named “kord”, will allow established artists, new artists and fans of both to engage and interact with one another through proprietary first-to-market technology.
The acquisition will accelerate bBooth’s planned rollout for connecting Hollywood to America’s Hometowns, enabling new and emerging talent to be discovered from anywhere, at anytime, through smartphones, tablets, desktops or via bBooth’s in-mall recording studios.
“We continue to eliminate the barriers separating talented everyday people from being discovered and now we’re eliminating the barriers separating established talent from their fans,” states Rory J. Cutaia, CEO of bBooth. With the introduction of this technology, singers, actors, comedians and performers of all types will be able to monetize their content through their own online stores built into our app and then interact directly with their fans – the consumers of that content – in ways never before accomplished.” Other fun features include the ability of users to challenge each other to sing-off style battles within the app where their followers vote and the winners receive virtual currency for use in the app, and the ability for users to record a virtual ‘duet’ with one of their favorite celebrity singers, among other features. “By aligning our interests with those of the artists and other content creators, the revenue generation opportunities are virtually limitless.” bBooth expects the app to be available to the public later this quarter.
