Live video broadcasting platform Live.me has partnered with The Code, a Grammy nominated writing, production and artist development company to launch You Need The Code, the platform’s first ever live stream music program providing users with 14 hand-selected independent artists for their entertainment. Live.me's global audience consists of over 40 million users.

On April 2, 2018 users can tune in at 7:00PM EST to watch live concerts, one on one Q&As, exclusive record releases and backstage studio sessions, which bridge the gap between artists and their fans. Participating artists in the program include Crystal the Doll, Alahna Ly, Courtney Bell, Angelique Sabrina, Brianna Lee, Kevo Hendricks, Sino, Biance Badd, Rosette, Taz Zavala, Brielle Lesley, Pat Er'son, Raww Blue and Tyrik Ballard.

“We’ve seen lots of independent artists connect with new fans over the years using Live.me” says Khudor Annous, Head of Marketing and Partnerships at Live.me. “Our goal is to continue to give a platform to artists we felt would make an impact in music culture.”

With help from Ashley Rose, CEO of The Code whose career as a Roc Nation signed writer has included writing hits such as Tamar Braxton - “Pieces” (Grammy Nominated), Zara Larsson - “Can't Hold Back” (Epic Records Sweden, certified platinum) and Sevyn Streeter Ft. Chris Brown "Don't Kill the Fun" (Top 10 U.S. R&B) has taken her years of experience to curate a lineup which she believes are the next wave of artists defining sound across genres.

“I’m extremely proud to introduce so many wonderful new artists to the Live.me community as I truly believe the platform is a wonderful place for artist engagement and growth,” says The Code CEO Ashley Rose. “There’s something really special about the supportive and interactive nature of the broadcasting community they’ve fostered. There is so much power in the hands of the artists today, and Live.me is one of the most powerful tools I’ve seen thus far.”

The program will run from April 2 - May 31. For more information, please contact Jen Feldshon at jfeldshon@cadmusicmgmt.com.
