Your Profile Is Your Stage

Before a venue books you, they look you up. Make sure what they find tells a story. Upload a photo that shows who you are on stage, in rehearsal, anywhere real. Write a bio in two or three sentences: what you sound like, where you are based, what kind of shows you play. Add your city. A complete profile is not vanity ÔÇö it is the first filter promoters use when they browse the platform.

Post Every Show, No Matter the Size

Every event you publish appears on the live music map. A pub gig, a festival slot, a support act post them all. Venues and promoters browse the map looking for active artists in specific cities. If you are not on the map, you do not exist for them. Regularity over time builds your ranking: an artist who plays consistently shows up above one who played once and went quiet.
