Chinese app unleashes Kenyan talent, brands

Tipping Points Technology Limited, an information and communications technology company based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, East China, is bringing new opportunities for Kenya's performing artists through its live streaming app Live-Baze.

The artists are able to display their talent, earn money and fame, and receive virtual gifts from fans. Launched in October last year, the free app features exclusive content like music, dances, gaming, live chats and behind-the-scene activities at events and concerts.

Nearly 70 experts from such disciplines have already found in Live-Baze an e-platform to reach audiences as large as 5,000. Live-Baze users buy credits through Paypal or Mobile Money to offer virtual gifts to performers.
