A new mobile
app is helping aspiring musicians to not only shoot videos of themselves
singing songs but also pushing them to turn pop stars, a media report said.
The free Mobile
app "Acapella" has crossed 6 million downloads mark since its launch
two months ago. It allows an aspiring musician to shoot a video of
himself/herself with layering in multipart harmonies, rhythm tracks and musical
instruments, currentstar.com reported recently.
"This is
the beauty of Acapella it gives you a chance to showcase your skills,"
Daniel Vinh, the app's co-founder said.
In one of the
videos, a music geek keeps rhythm with a ballpoint pen, toilet lid, a box of
rice and his head banging on a desk.
In another clip
that has been retweeted more than 10,000 times, a teenaged girl recreates pop
star Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me" in five parts, pulling faces as she acts
out dialogue and lays down beats.
Available on
Apple store for iPhone and Google play store for Android users, Acapella's
videos are scoring millions of views after getting posted on Twitter.
While
Acapella's free version imposes a one-minute limit on compositions, users can
buy the ability to compose opuses of three and 10 minutes for $1.99 and $9.99,
respectively.
