How do you show the world you're a talented artist? Are you feeling anxious and depressed, or are you curious about your career? The answer: Join a music cohort or an Academy. As an artist that wants to show the world your talent, your primary ambition should be a trained academy or cohort to help you sharpen your talent. Sngcrunch music is here to help you.
Why Sngcrunch?
I chose to create a web app with music experts because I have come to realize that most people don't understand the steps to push their career forward, especially in music. In Sngcrunch app, the user goes through a certain stage to gain admission into the cohort and gain access to the world's top mentors. Aside from these if users perform well they have the opportunity to join the SNGCRUNCH RECORD.

Journey Map

UX Research
Project Audit
I started conducting research about the project's values and goals. Furthermore, an analysis was made on how the project can ignite users to proper mentoring.
There are two measures considered in my research
Match between the system and the real world - Does it give users the experience they need? Can users easily understand the interface? Can users easily use the web app?
Efficiency - Does it cater to both experienced and inexperienced users? Can users easily navigate around the platform?
Competitive Analysis
I conducted research and found out the competitors and a few of them are - Nigeria Idol, The Voice Nigeria etc. Competition is an important factor to be considered, that puts each brand at its feet to be the best. A competitive analysis was conducted.
User Personas
Being a music app, some things are meant to be put into consideration, e.g. age factor, Global user, and so on. It also has to cater to user needs, the main goal is to help newbies take further steps in their career to have a beautiful experience.

Wireframes
Creating wireframes is very important because it gives me the opportunity to walk through the structure of the web app without getting sidetracked by design elements such as colors and images.
Key Solution
Connect the site's information architecture to its visual design by showing paths between pages
Clarify consistent ways for displaying particular types of information on the user interface
Determine the intended functionality in the interface.

Adhering to research, I created a Persona, User Journey Map and User Flow.
After all of the research, I identified everything clearly for the user who will use this app. All of these helped me to dive into the project deeply and seamlessly. It allowed me to see quantitative outcomes in order to conduct the project attentively.
High Fidelity Design
User satisfaction is our main priority: to test my app's ease of use and know whether my app meets the client's prerequisites. I directed ease-of-use testing with two personas, and I asked them inquiries and experiences about the design.
