The music streaming service hopes the feature will help artists affected by the coronavirus lockdown

"Given the urgency and impact of the Covid-19 crisis, we're working as quickly as we can to develop this new product and get it out to as many artists as possible. However, we've never built a fundraising feature like this before."

Dance act Marshmello was one of the first to sign up, encouraging his 33m monthly listeners to donate to the Musicares coronavirus relief fund, set up by the Grammys to support out-of-work musicians. "Like so many others right now, I am out of work as our tours have been cancelled or postponed because of Covid-19," she said."Any help is appreciated as we keep in our efforts to find new ways to get by."In China, the feature is baked into streaming services like QQ Music, Kugou and Kuwo and the karaoke app WeSing - which are all run by tech conglomerate Tencent.
