DeWitt said, "We have built a wallet experience that is designed to allow artists to accept payments from anywhere in the world and allow buyers to complete their purchases with one click from anywhere on the web."

He further stated that he was inspired by Bandcamp to develop the xSongs platform. Bandcamp is an online music company that allows artists to share and make money from their music.

He said, "They did a great job and they obviously care about independent artists. Without their platform, they may never be profitable. Bandcamp charges 15% commission and 6% transaction fees, totaling 21%, but xSongs is aimed directly at artists, which means that platform fees and transaction fees are always 0%. "
