Nile Rodgers joins Simon Cowell-Backed Lounges.tv

06 August 2025 - Press release

Nile Rodgers, the iconic songwriter, composer, producer, arranger,  and guitarist, has teamed up with innovative streaming platform Lounges.tv in a ground-breaking partnership designed to spotlight and support emerging music artists. 

Through this collaboration, Lounges.tv and Nile Rodgers will provide rising talent with unprecedented  opportunities to showcase their work, gain industry exposure, and generate income in a fairer, more  artist-focused way. The partnership will include exclusive events, curated showcases, and direct mentorship initiatives, all powered by Lounges.tv’s cutting-edge platform. 

“Lounges.tv is a platform that puts artists first,” said Nile Rodgers, “and gives them the tools to take  control of their careers.” 

Lounges.tv is redefining live streaming and content monetisation for musicians and creators. Unlike  traditional platforms, Lounges.tv ensures performers are paid instantly within 24 hours of a stream,  earning 80% of all revenue — empowering artists to earn a living doing what they love. Since the  platform’s launch in 2023, select independent creators have grossed over £100,000 from engaging  their audience via the platform’s streaming tools. 

Lounges.tv shareholder and entertainment mogul Simon Cowell commented: "Nile is a legend. I've known him for years, and he’s one of the most creative minds in music. Having him involved with Lounges.tv is huge for artists and creators. Nile doesn’t just make music - he changes the game. I’m excited to have him on board to keep taking Lounges forward."

“Having Nile Rodgers on board is a game-changer,” said Scott Green, CEO, Lounges.tv. “His legacy,  influence, and passion for supporting artists aligns perfectly with our vision. Together, we’re building  something that will create real opportunities for the next generation of music legends.” 

Fans and creators alike can expect exclusive content, behind-the-scenes footage, and one-of-a-kind  live experiences from the Lounges.tv and Nile Rodgers partnership, launching this summer.
