About Uru Uru App Empowering Your Music
UruUruApp.com was created with one mission: to revolutionize the way independent musicians sell their work, connect with fans, and build sustainable careers. Founded by Tampa producer, engineer, songwriter, and industry veteran John Seda, Uru Uru is designed to level the playing field and put financial control back in the hands of artists. The platform was built to help creators take ownership of your music and your future.
For more than 30 years, John Seda has lived and breathed the creative industry—running Rising Sun Music, producing hundreds of artists, collaborating with Grammy, Gold, and Platinum award-winning performers, and helping creators of all genres find their unique voice. After decades of firsthand experience and seeing how little artists earn from streaming platforms, John knew something had to change. His vision was to create a real artist-driven economy—one where creators keep 100% of their revenue and are no longer dependent on unfair systems.
Uru Uru is built for the modern musician. Using simple QR-code technology, artists can upload their music, set pricing, share a single code, and sell instantly—whether at live shows, on social media, through websites, or anywhere fans engage. Every transaction is processed securely through Stripe and deposited directly into the artist’s bank account, eliminating middlemen, percentage cuts, and long payout delays. No distributors. No gatekeepers. Just direct support from fans to creators.
John designed Uru Uru to empower artists at every stage of their journey. Whether uploading a first single or launching a full album, creators maintain complete control over their catalog, pricing, and earnings. The platform also includes a Tip Jar, allowing fans to show additional support during performances or online engagement.
More than just a tool, Uru Uru represents a larger vision to reshape the future of independent creators. Built on fairness, transparency, and freedom, every feature reflects a commitment to helping artists reinvest in their careers and grow on their own terms.
As Uru Uru continues to evolve, John and the Rising Sun Music team remain dedicated to expanding features, improving the platform, and supporting creators worldwide. This is more than an app—it’s a movement.
Welcome to Uru Uru.
You are you. Your music, your price, your money.
