Truspot is a music platform with one of the largest user-base in Africa. The main idea behind Tru spot, is to provide a one stop place where people can come and share music from the motherland.

The idea is not entirely unique, since Tru spot is simply a social network which resolves mainly around music. What however makes Truspot stand out is the implementation of its design, and the savviness of the marketing they employed to capture their target market.

Tru Spot! ™ is a social music platform designed to support African artists, fans and local music. We are known for the #1 spot online for discovery of the latest and hottest music from the motherland. Tru Spot! Aims to make African music more widely dispersed and understood as well as offering a platform for African artists to promote themselves globally.

Tru Spot Connects users who share parallel tastes, brings the artists they love closer to them by having live shows, interviews, chat sessions, custom radio streams, and much more.

Africa is full of very good artists and bands that get little or no exposure which is detrimental to their efforts in showcasing their talents. Fan participation is a very effective way to get people involved by letting them rate, review, tell their friends and support the artists by buying their art with ease. With the easy-to-customize radio module, fans can play around with music from where ever they are world wide.

The unique thing about Truspot is that they are pretty popular in this early stage of the African cyberspace.
