Friendable Inc. (FDBL) Announces Initial Launch and Release of Newly Acquired FeaturedX; Brings 360 Artist Offering Full Circle

  • FeaturedX Co-founders Ryan “Tuck” O’Leary and Jeff Menig will stay on in their roles
  • Robert A. Rositano Jr., CEO of Friendable, marks the acquisition and retention of the co-founders to be a step forward in the pursuit of offering the ultimate 360 artist offering – focusing on revenue, artists, and additional services

Friendable (OTC: FDBL), a mobile technology and marketing company, has announced the initial launch and release of FeaturedX.com – a web-property acquired in January 2022. FeaturedX currently has thousands of artists available and is a platform where artists can tap into resources for music production and collaboration, including booking a guest feature, co-writing, MIDI composition, and more. Also announced with the launch was the retention of the original co-founders, Mr. Ryan “Tuck” O’Leary and Mr. Jeff Menig (https://ibn.fm/qh6nG).

Robert A. Rositano Jr., CEO of Friendable, commented on the announcement, saying that while continuing to deliver a variety of expanded services to artists, platforms, and offerings, FeaturedX has taken center stage as Friendable’s next service offering ready for growth. “Working closely with Mr. O’Leary and Mr. Menig, the two original co-founders of FeaturedX, it was immediately clear that having them both on board for our journey forward would be one of our keys to success. This said, we have been able to reach an agreement with both O’Leary and Menig to join our team as partners as we focus on revenue, artists, and additional services growth on a platform that already has great momentum,” Rositano Jr added.

Lifelong friends O’Leary and Menig launched FeaturedX in 2020. O’Leary is best known for playing bass in the “Texas Metal” band Fit for a King. Menig has over 21 years of professional entertainment industry experience working with band management, live events, merchandise, consulting, artist development, and marketing. Menig’s experience and a keen eye for detail will make him invaluable to the team as Fan Pass Live grows the FeaturedX brand and services.

“Creating this lineup was an absolute dream of mine. This is a dream team of the greatest artists in alternative music,” O’Leary said. “Combining years of friendships and touring experience, we built this as a community. Now teaming up with Fan Pass Live, FeaturedX is looking to continue expanding and growing an already stellar roster of creatives,” he added.

In the acquisition, Friendable positioned itself as the first 360 artist platform to provide artists with a start to finish solution for independent music distribution through its flagship offering, Fan Pass Live artist platform, and the newly acquired Artist Republik and FeaturedX. Friendable’s mission is to provide the ultimate “anti-label” experience, keeping artists in control of their music. 

The total artist offering now being offered by Friendable through Fan Pass Live, Artist Republik, and FeaturedX include:

  • Music production
  • Music collaboration
  • Music distribution services
  • Promotion
  • Live events
  • Ticket sales
  • Behind the scenes
  • Merchandise design/shop
  • Tips
  • Fan interaction opportunities
  • Subscription offerings
  • And so much more

Through the different avenues, artists can earn revenue – either through the sales of subscription services or through ticket sales and tips to music streams and merchandise. 

This year, Friendable has seen remarkable growth in its social media numbers, and engagement is rising. With a catalog of over 111,000 artists, fans can experience indie artists like never before without paying the prices required by a label. The Fan Pass Live platform makes connecting fans with artists much easier and allows for a more personal connection at every point in the music ecosystem.
