Questions, answered straight.
What music does Groovie play?
Original music we own end-to-end — 700+ tracks across afrobeats, gospel, Caribbean, Latin, jazz, R&B, hip hop, pop, lounge, acoustic, and more, plus six original shows. Your station's mix is built around your space and your crowd.
Is the music AI-generated?
Partly, and we're straight about it: original music we own end-to-end, made through a human-directed process — original lyrics, creative direction, structures, and curation by Gooverio, with licensed generative-AI production used in varying degrees. Every track has a logged ownership trail. What that buys you: a station with real cultural depth, no royalty pass-throughs on your bill, and music you won't hear in the shop next door. If you listen and it moves the room, it's doing its job — scan any of our stations and judge with your ears.
I want mainstream hits — the songs my customers know. Can Groovie do that?
Today, our stations play our original catalog. A licensed mainstream-music option through an established licensing partner is in the works for businesses that want it — planned, not live yet. If that's important for your space, tell us at hello@groovie.live; early interest shapes how fast it lands.
Do I need my own music license (ASCAP/BMI/etc.) to play Groovie?
Groovie's catalog is original music we own — your subscription covers it, and there are no separate music-licensing bills from us. (If you play other music sources in your venue besides Groovie, those carry their own obligations — that part is between you and them.)
What do I actually get?
A branded radio station for your business: your music mix, station IDs and jingles with your name, your announcements in a professional DJ voice, DJ shout-outs for your customers, and a schedule that runs itself — morning to close, every day.
How do announcements work?
Type it in your dashboard, pick a voice (DJ Kira, DJ Mike, DJ Sarah, or DJ Roger), and choose when: on a schedule, at the next song break, or interrupting right now. It's on-air in seconds.
What's a DJ Shout-Out?
A personalized on-air moment — "Happy birthday, Maria, from everyone at Bella's!" Pick the occasion (birthday, anniversary, congrats, welcome, or your own words), pick the voice, and it airs on your station.
Can I upload my own jingles or ads?
Yes, free, always. If you'd rather we produce them: a custom jingle package (3 variants) is $79, and produced ad spots are $29 each.
What equipment do I need?
Internet and any speaker you already own. A phone, tablet, computer, Sonos, or your existing sound system — if it can open a web page or play a stream, it can play your station.
How long does setup take?
Your station builds itself in minutes — you'll watch the real progress on screen — and it's playing the same afternoon. Founding partners get white-glove setup: we come to you and leave with it running.
What's the QR code about?
Every station gets a shareable QR. A customer scans it and the Groovie app opens with YOUR station playing — no download wall, no signup wall. If they create a free account and follow you, your announcements reach them after they leave.
What does it cost?
$89 per location per month, unlimited zones — front of house, kitchen, patio, upstairs, one price. The same song never plays in two of your rooms at once.
Is there a contract?
No long-term lock-in. Founding partners get the best terms we'll ever offer — white-glove setup and a complimentary custom jingle package.
Can listeners tune in for free?
Yes — the consumer app at groovie.live/listen is free, always. That's the point: your customers carrying your station with them costs them nothing.
