World Media Group Owned Platforms
Beyond the tools we curate, World Media Group builds and operates its own creator platforms — designed for independent artists, musicians, DJs, and performers. Built in Connecticut. Designed to scale nationally.
These are not affiliate recommendations. These are properties we own, operate, and actively build.
Curated Tools vs. Built Platforms
World Media Group operates two distinct tracks — third-party tools we recommend, and original platforms we built from the ground up.
Third-Party Recommendations
Restream, Be.Live, MusicCreator AI, BeHuman, GoBrunch, and other tools organized by marketing outcome. We recommend these because they work — not because we built them.
Browse the Tools Ecosystem →Our Creator Platforms
Four platforms we designed, built, and operate under the World Media Group umbrella — each one solving a specific gap in what independent Connecticut artists actually need to earn from their craft.
See Our Platforms ↓Four Platforms. One Mission.
Artist-owned, creator-first, Connecticut-built. Each platform was built because the previous one revealed something that was still missing.
VibesNearby Radio
Connecticut's internet radio station and digital music magazine. Built on a creator-owned airtime philosophy — DJs rent recurring weekly broadcast slots rather than performing for a platform that keeps the value they create.
- Internet radio + digital music magazine
- Creator-owned DJ airtime marketplace
- Weekly recurring broadcast slots
- Rooted in a 3–4 year radio broadcasting background
VibesNearby Artists
Connecticut's music artist directory — a searchable database of local musicians, DJs, podcasters, and performers available for discovery, booking, and connection.
- Connecticut music artist directory
- Artist profiles and discovery
- Search by genre, city, and availability
- Gateway into the full VibesNearby ecosystem
VibesNearby Live
Connecticut's live artist network — direct artist monetization through tips, bookings, and memberships. Built after the directory proved artists needed more than just a profile. They needed to earn.
- Direct fan-to-artist tipping
- Booking inquiry system
- Artist membership tiers
- Stripe + PayPal payment processing
Virtual Stage Network
The live streaming performance layer of the ecosystem. Artists broadcast live from their smartphones via RTMPS. Fans watch, tip, and book. Venues display streams on their TVs. Event planners book virtual or hybrid performances.
- Live RTMPS streaming via Cloudflare Stream
- Artist keeps 92% of every tip
- Booking system for events of all types
- Venue Smart TV display network
- Designed to license to other cities

Built From Inside the Music World
Alan Bush — Founder & Systems Architect
World Media Group & VibesNearby Ecosystem
Former internet radio host (Feel The Power, CyberstationUSA.com — 3 to 4 years on Cameo Broadcasting Systems). Built four creator platforms after watching talented Connecticut artists perform for hours and walk away with nothing but gas money — including his own wife, a singer whose talent became a hobby because the system failed her.
Connecticut-based. Building creator infrastructure that should have existed 20 years ago.
