AscentTunes is a Nigerian-based music streaming platform available exclusively on web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and others. It is compatible with smartphones, PCs, tablets, and more, offering unlimited music streaming and downloads without requiring a mobile application.

History

[edit]

AscentTunes was founded on September 26, 2019, by Olajide A. Emmanuel in Osun, Nigeria. Since its inception, the platform has focused on providing emerging and established artists with tools to monetize and share their music globally. By emphasizing accessibility and artist support, AscentTunes has become a notable player in the streaming industry.

In 2024, renowned Nigerian artist BNXN gave an exclusive interview to AscentTunes, where he encouraged upcoming musicians to embrace streaming platforms to achieve independence and success without relying solely on record labels. BNXN highlighted the earning potential of platforms like AscentTunes and suggested the establishment of an "artist bank" to fund creative projects.[1][2]
