About us
Gigstarter is the live music ecosystem to find local musicians for your next event. Connecting artists and bookers directly, with no hidden fees in-between - the platform aims to empower independent musicians and allows anyone and everyone to be a booker. We have developed a transparent website where bookers can directly book artists without paying any form of commission.

Founders
A couple of years ago I tried to get more bookings for my band. Since there was no platform where artists could easily register and get booked in a fair and direct way, I founded Gigstarter. I find it very motivating to see how thousands of artists are being found every month through Gigstarter for myriad types of live performances. Are you just like us, impact minded and eager to combine your daily work with your passion? Join us on our mission to emancipate live music entertainment, everywhere.

As a jack of all trades, launching Gigstarter and creating an entire ecosystem with a great team of professionals makes working a great joy. Being a retired bass player, I know the hassle it takes to get cool Gigs. Gigstarter ties the loose ends. We create independence, new opportunities, and special moments. In my free time, I make podcasts and travel the globe in search of the perfect electronic wave.

Technology and music are two of my greatest passions. Gigstarter is the perfect opportunity for me to combine these two passions. I think it is great to create a website that both satisfies the needs of the artists and the bookers. Because of all the opportunities on the website, there is always enough technical work to do. That's why we are always looking for someone who can support me with the further development of Gigstarter.
