This year, for the very first time in Mumbai, LetsTuneup is hosting an exclusive, invite only Secret Santa gathering.
I was one of the firsts to be invited (yes!). We’re planning to have a fun filled, gift exchanging afternoon sometime during the Christmas week. The venue is yet to be declared. If you’re looking for an invite, tweet to LetsTuneup!
More information about this event is available here.
We’re looking forward to meeting all of you out there!
Today marked a significant milestone in LetsTuneup’s life – we were interviewed live by RJ Sangeeta on Ishq 104.8 FM in Mumbai!
Yesterday, the morning show producer of Ishq FM messaged me, and asked if the RJ could talk to me the very next morning for a brief chat about LetsTuneup. The producer had read about LetsTuneup in an app review which was published by one of our fans a couple of weeks ago.
RJ Sangy hosts a morning show called Ishq Hangouts. We did a brief interview which lasted for about 12 minutes this morning.
For those of you who missed it earlier today, here’s the audio recording of the chat, split over four parts.
Personally, I’ve never been on air before. I loved my first experience, albeit I was extremely nervous just before it – the quick fix, I was listening to Mirrors by Niall Horan on a loop for about ten minutes just before the interview :)
LetsTuneup has grown tremendously, and with it, we’ve introduced new features too. We identified that a few of our users couldn’t use the app to it’s full extent because they didn’t have music on their devices.
We’ve solved that. Users can now pick their favourite artists, powered by a location aware scoring algorithm, which recommends popular artists in their area.
Leading the recommendation list in Mumbai is Arjit Singh, followed by Eminem, Linkin Park, Coldplay and Pink Floyd. Honey Singh is #11 on the chart, and some nostalgic users love Akon, making him #28.
Stay tuned and look forward to our next big feature, very soon.
