Cowell adds: ‘The artists and the audience, rightly, are making 100% of the decisions and Lounges.tv is giving talent another new type of platform to promote themselves.

The ad-free platform is also backed by iconic musician Prince’s former manager Kiran Sharma and BBC iPlayer founder Ben Lavender.
Among the creators using the platform is violinist and composer Hannah Woolmer, who is one of the many creators excited to hear that Cowell is backing the platform.
She says: ‘I think Simon Cowell’s business decisions and his authority in music is really impressive, so if he is backing Lounges.tv, he must see the legitimacy of the platform and the power it has to unearth new talent.’
Woolmer, who is in her 30s and from Thurrock, Essex, says using Lounges.tv has helped her tap into a global fanbase that she would otherwise not have been able to access.
And like every other performer on the platform, she receives 80% of her streaming income within 24 hours of going live, which has helped her earn about £10,000 since she joined Lounges.tv in January and began streaming full time in May.
Hannah, who has composed and performed music for movies, typically live streams three gigs a week and charges between £1.50 and £3 per show.

She said: ‘Lounges.tv allows me to perform to fans of my music who may otherwise not be able to hear my music or see me live.
‘Since the pandemic, there was a huge drive to online concerts and it helped me see that online streamed concerts are a legitimate and a new way to enjoy art. It’s a movement, just like when radio or TV started.
‘The platform offers the highest quality way to stream my music, with a free dedicated streaming space including professional cameras, a green screen, audio and a sound and stream engineer onhand.’
