Humm, the Free, Ad-less Alternative to Spotify, Launches Worldwide

LONDON, February 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --



Humm is a free music app that makes it possible, simply and legally, to access more
than 50 million songs, providing users with a personalized experience based on their
musical tastes.   



Humm [http://www.myhumm.com ], a London-based startup, has just launched a new
music-streaming app that provides a free and easy way to listen to a huge array of music
online. Without ads or interruptions, it provides users with a service similar to Spotify

The app, which has just launched a mobile version on Android [http://www.m.myhumm.com ]
, draws on more than 50 million songs obtained through the YouTube API. Humm lets users
create their own music library and listen to a radio service tailored around their
favourite artists. Similar to Apple Music, Humm also offers customized content based on
users' musical tastes.



"With Humm, we want to democratize streaming music and make it accessible to the whole
world, but through legal channels. We use the APIs of other services such as YouTube or
Spotify, adhering to their terms and conditions," explains its CEO and founder, Andres
Sanchez. "At present, only 1% of the world's population is willing to pay for premium
music services. We want this number to increase, and Humm wants to be the gateway to paid
services. We see a big gap between YouTube and Spotify and we'd like to be the stepping
stone to go from one to the other," adds Sanchez.



Founded by Spanish entrepreneurs and a graduate of the Telefonica Wayra acccelerator,
Humm is a London-based startup with offices in Malaga and Santiago de Compostela. Its
earlier incarnation, Living Indie, was a live streaming platform for concerts. In April of
last year, the company closed its first round of funding in through Crowdcube, the
UK-based equity crowdfunding platform.



Humm's mission is to make music accessible to everyone through a music streaming
platform with access to more than 50 million songs. Humm is also an API that offers a
legal package for creating music services.
