Cyphr is a social network and online recording studio that makes music creation easy, fun and profitable! Create and collaborate remotely from any location. Turn ideas into income all in one app! Cyphr’s name stems from “cypher”, a hip-hop term used to describe a group of rappers and/or beatboxers in a circle making music together. The functionality of Cyphr was developed to mimic a digital cypher. Producers: upload your beats and get notifications each time someone records on them. Listen to the verses on your beats, decide who sounds best and build with them! Rappers: it costs nothing to record now! Spit as many verses as you want and keep them private or post them so everyone can hear your flow. Cypher with others by sending and receiving invites to collaborate. Find producers with beats that compliment your flow and build with them! Fans and A&Rs: seek and discover new talent and sounds. Follow your favorite artists, share their sounds and help them build! #keepthemicinrotation #ultraindependent
