Based in Dubai, this social music app is a social network for people who love music. Whether you have a dream to make it big, play for fun or are passionate about discovering new artists, the VYBZ app helps you to "share your sound."
Currently in beta, the social music app attempts to close the gap between established artists, up and comers and even casual listeners. VYBZ lets you record 60 second videos of you singing over an instrumental track in your phone, enabling you and your talent to be heard. Once the clip is on the app, you can promote it to your friends and fans. Leaderboards allow users to compete in challenges for different prizes, including opportunities to record with your heroes.
