Stageit is a web-based platform created for artists by artists that empowers them to deliver and monetize interactive live experiences directly from their laptop. Offering intimacy and direct interaction with fans, Stageit gives artists the opportunity to offer unique online fan experiences that will not be archived or duplicated for distribution. Stageit enables artists to choose when they want to perform, for how long and how much they want to charge. Additionally, artists can receive instant feedback on their performance via the Tip Jar feature, which allows fans to tip artists in real time. The platform also greatly complements and activates other traditional and digital promotional and networking tools artists are already using. Stageit was launched in March 2011 by CEO and music industry veteran Evan Lowenstein, who enjoys nearly 20 years of experience as a recording artist, award-winning writer and executive. Artists who have used Stageit include Jimmy Buffett, Jake Owen, Collbie Calliat, Jason Mraz, Lisa Loeb, Plain White T’s, Kate Voegel, Crosby Stills & Nash and KORN. Stageit is headquartered in Hollywood, CA.
