Fan Pass is more than just an app, it's a platform and true artist partner that allows artists and their fans (both old and new) to interact in authentic ways, right from their smartphone or other connected devices.
Fan Pass allows an artist’s fanbase to experience something they may otherwise never have the opportunity to afford or geographically attend.
Fans can follow the specific artists and genres they love, while artists can provide their fans access to exclusive content, distribute music, market releases, sell beats and more.
Fan Pass seeks to become a premier brand and mobile platform that is dedicated to connecting and engaging users from anywhere around the world.
In 2013 Friendable, Inc. was founded, leading to the Company’s first mobile application of the same name, “Friendable” which was published in the social networking and dating category.
Friendable partnered with notable artists like Jennifer Lopez, Fifth Harmony, Fetty Wap, Meghan Trainor, Red Foo and Austin Mahone.
The Friendable app achieved over 1.5 million historical downloads and approximately 900k registered users.
