Tiggzi is a Web-​​based plat­form for building mo­bile apps for iPhone, Android, or HTML5. We re­cently launched Tiggzi for Musicians to ex­tend Tiggzi and show­cased it at the re­cent NAMM show.

Tiggzi for Musicians cus­tomizes and fur­ther sim­pli­fies the mo­bile de­vel­op­ment process for mu­si­cian apps. It guides you through a se­ries of steps to grab con­tent you al­ready have in the Cloud. Now all mu­si­cians can have a mo­bile strategy to pro­mote their music.

Want to know more? Want to see it for your­self? Know someone who would be interested?

Join us as award-​​winning per­forming artist Alexa Weber Morales shows how you can create mo­bile apps for your music fans or cus­tomers in less than 10 min­utes! Afterward, Alexa and Exadel’s David Schoenbach will an­swer your questions.

See you there!

NAMM — A wild ride. As we speak, Michael Ruiz, Murietta Valley Unified School District, is talking about Tiggzi for Musicians at NAMM’s “Best Tools for Schools” ses­sion. A couple days ago, he watched Alexa Weber Morales build her fan app with Tiggzi for Musicians (http://​mu​si​cians​.tiggzi​.com). He was super-​​impressed and is happy to spread the word. He sees it as a tool for school bands, etc. Read more »

NAMM Days 2 and 3: A blur of ‘Tiggzi for Musicians’ ac­tivity. Meeting the artists, en­gi­neers, ed­u­ca­tors, in­vestors, tech­nol­o­gists, media, and pro­moters who make music happen. We at­tended the TEC awards last night, with Steve Vai re­ceiving an award, and playing along with Jeff Baxter, Billy Sheehan, and other greats. Very cool! Read more »

NAMM Day 1 re­port (for Thursday, 1/​19): Well, the mu­si­cians showed up today, and the music biz people, be­yond the media folks we met yes­terday. There were in­dustry vet­erans and new­bies – key­boards, bass, guitar, singers, de­vel­opers and web­mas­ters, pro­ducers, audio en­gi­neers, and booking agents. Read more »

The NAMM Show is an an­nual gath­ering or­ga­nized by the National Association of Music Merchants to sup­port and grow the music prod­ucts in­dustry. Since our brand-​​new Tiggzi for Musicians is all about giving mu­si­cians the mo­bile tools to sup­port their pas­sions, we thought this would be a good place to un­veil it. Read more »

This time, in­stead of just adding many new im­prove­ments and a whole new ap­proach to cus­tomizing Tiggr for spe­cific users…like mu­si­cians (more about this later), we’ve changed the name of Tiggr to Tiggzi or Tiggzi by Exadel if you want to be re­ally formal. It takes some ef­fort to switch over all the name ref­er­ences, but we think the switchover has gone quite smoothly. We felt that Tiggr was growing so fast and changing into such a richer product of­fering that it was worth sig­nalling this with a re­branding name change. Read more »

A lot of the height at­tained by Tiggr Mobile Apps Builder as a mo­bile de­vel­op­ment plat­form comes from “standing on the shoul­ders of Giants.” One of those Giants is PhoneGap. So, when the people at PhoneGap asked Exadel’s Max Katz to post an ar­ticle on their blog about how Exadel’s Tiggr works with PhoneGap, he jumped at the chance re­sulting in the ar­ticle, “Building Mobile Apps in the Cloud with Tiggr and PhoneGap” posted just last week.
