The gap between talent and income has always been filled by middlemen — until now. A new app from a Texas-based tech company is handing everyday performers the same revenue tools that labels and agencies typically control, from ticketed live streams to instant tips.
Creators can set up a free or paid live stream in a matter of seconds, collapsing what used to be a multi-platform juggling act into a single workflow.
From one central menu, users can publish posts, broadcast live, list a product or promote a service — no separate storefronts or payment chase required.

Developed by a former music label CEO, the free app consolidates ticketed events, pay-per-view broadcasts, tipping, merchandise sales and booking deposits into one streamlined platform.
You shouldn't have to be a giant to make a living from your talent.”— Marvin Mvondo, Founder & CEO, SplashArk
KATY, TX, UNITED STATES, October 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — SplashArk, Inc., a technology company based in Katy, Texas, today highlighted the creator tools in its free app, which let musicians, comedians, teachers, fitness coaches and other everyday creators earn directly from their audience through ticketed live shows, pay-per-view and tips.
Most creators do not have a label, an agent or a big following. They stream on one platform, sell merchandise on another, take bookings by direct message and chase payments by text. SplashArk puts those pieces in one app.
"You shouldn't have to be a giant to make a living from your talent," said Marvin Mvondo, founder and CEO of SplashArk. "I watched talented people pay middlemen for the right to get paid. SplashArk gives them the tools to go live, sell and get paid on their own terms."
Built by someone who has run the shows
Mvondo spent more than 10 years as CEO of Blu Nation, a record label and entertainment company distributed through Roc Nation Distro. He produced Afrobeats and Afropop artists and organized festivals, concerts and events with acts including Rema, Davido and Mr P of P-Square across the United States, England and Africa.

Why it matters: For the millions of independent artists, educators and coaches who currently stitch together income from awkward combinations of social platforms, payment apps and manual scheduling, SplashArk represents a shift toward self-sufficiency. If its payment-hold protection and multilingual reach gain traction, it could reshape how mid-tier creators monetize their audiences without surrendering control to a label or agency.
