Viv on explaining what makes Gyrostream unique compared to other platforms:

“What’s really kind of set us apart… is the fact that the artists can pick up the phone,
they can talk to our artist support team, they can get the help that they need because distribution
is quite complex at times and there’s a lot of moving parts and a lot of new information.”
