About Us – Uru Uru App
UruUruApp.com was created with one mission: to revolutionize the way independent musicians sell their music, connect with fans, and build sustainable careers. Founded by Tampa music 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.
For more than 30 years, John Seda has lived and breathed music—running Rising Sun Music, producing hundreds of artists, collaborating with Grammy, Gold, and Platinum award-winning performers, and helping musicians of all genres find their unique voice. After decades in the industry and seeing how little artists earn from streaming platforms, John knew something had to change. That desire to create a real musical economy—one where artists keep 100% of their revenue—became the driving force behind the Uru Uru App.
Uru Uru is built for the modern musician. With simple QR-code technology, artists can upload their music, set their price, share their code, and sell instantly—whether at live shows, social media, websites, or anywhere fans connect with their art. Every sale is processed securely through Stripe and deposited directly into the artist’s bank account, bypassing middlemen and long payout delays. No distributors, no percentages taken, and no extra obstacles. Just pure, direct support from fans to the artist.
John designed Uru Uru to empower creators at every stage of their journey. Whether you’re uploading your first single or launching a full album, the platform gives you complete control over your catalog, your pricing, and your revenue. The app also features a Tip Jar, giving fans an easy way to show even more support during live shows or online.
More than just a tool, Uru Uru is part of a larger vision to reshape the future of independent music. John believes artists deserve financial fairness, transparency, and freedom. Every feature of Uru Uru reflects that philosophy—from the simple onboarding process to the instant payments that help musicians reinvest in their careers.
As Uru Uru continues to grow, John and the Rising Sun Music team remain dedicated to improving the platform, expanding features, and championing creators worldwide. This is not just an app—it’s a movement designed to give artists their power back.
Welcome to Uru Uru.
You are you. Your music, your price, your money.
Stephen Kimmerling – “Captain Hook” of WDBF Radio
Uru Uru App is proud to partner with Stephen Kimmerling, widely known to listeners as “Captain Hook,” the charismatic voice and creative engine behind WDBF Radio. Broadcasting on WDBF.FM and WDBFRADIO.COM, Captain Hook delivers one of the most distinctive blends in modern broadcasting: conservative talk radio, classic big band music, rare book deep-dives, and dynamic sports coverage—all delivered with his signature warmth, command, and authenticity.
As Captain Hook, Stephen brings an old-school radio personality to a fast-moving digital world. His shows capture the spirit of vintage American broadcasting, mixing insightful political commentary with the nostalgic swing of big band eras gone by. His rare book segments highlight literary treasures, forgotten authors, and cultural history, offering listeners a refreshing break from typical mainstream programming. His sports coverage adds energy and entertainment, making WDBF a true full-spectrum station.
WDBF Radio’s unique programming and Captain Hook’s unmistakable style make this partnership with Uru Uru App (UruUruApp.com) a natural fit. Both brands share a mission: empowering independent creators, elevating meaningful voices, and building a vibrant platform where artists and broadcasters can thrive without relying on middlemen or restrictive gatekeepers simply getting your music sold to fans.
Through this partnership, Captain Hook and WDBF Radio will help introduce emerging musicians to Uru Uru’s powerful music-selling tools, spotlight new talent, and contribute to the growing cultural ecosystem that Uru Uru is building. By connecting fans, creators, and broadcasters directly, we are forging a stronger, more independent future for music and media.
