The best place to book your gig online, sign contracts and share
with fans on social media. 

Project Background

Being around lot of promoters as friends and attending parties I saw a niche opportunity to build a product that helps the music ecosystem manage events online without all the paper work. 

This was my thesis project while at the Academy of Art University. Drove product designs from ideation to implementation. 

Research and Inspiration

This product solves for three types of users: Promoters, Musicians, Venues. By studying results of 15 customer interviews and survey's I simplified booking events and managing them from the web App. I gathered insights to develop a business plan that would help define the business goals.

It allows members to create events based on each other’s availability, date, and venue. Based on music genre it matches musicians with venues and promoters to book events online and get rid of paper contracts.
