How it works
From profile to a booker-ready press kit in four short steps — most of it fills itself in.
Your profile flows in
Bio, genres, photos, music, videos, reviews and your rate card arrive pre-loaded from your profile. A completeness meter shows what's still empty.
Blocks, your order
Drag 18 block types into magazine-style rows — full, half or quarter width. Show the reviews, lead with the showreel, hide what doesn't sell.
Make it yours
Dark, light, gradient or custom preset, your accent colour and font — previewed as the exact public page before you publish.
One link, everywhere
Your kit goes live at gigxchange.app/epk/your-name — paste it into pitch emails, bios and applications. It stays current on its own.
Everything in the kit
Built to answer a booker's questions before they ask them.
Assembled from your profile
Bio, genres, photos, music, videos, reviews and your rate card flow straight in from your GigXchange profile — nothing to re-upload, nothing to retype.
18 drag-and-drop blocks
Header, Bio, Music Player, Photo Gallery, Videos, Reviews, Rate Card, Availability, Setlist, Tour Poster, Stats, Text and more — show what sells you, hide what doesn’t.
Magazine-style rows
Arrange blocks in rows of full, half and quarter widths — a designed page, not a stacked list, with a live preview as you build.
Dark, light, gradient or custom
4 theme presets plus your own accent colour and font, so the kit matches your brand instead of a template’s.
Players built in
Audio tracks from your Song Bank play right on the page, alongside Spotify, SoundCloud and Bandcamp embeds — no leaving the kit to hear you.
Verified reviews on the page
Ratings and feedback from real GigXchange bookings render as a block — proof from people who actually paid you, not pull quotes.
One link, always current
Publish to gigxchange.app/epk/your-name. The page reads your live profile, so new photos, reviews and rates appear without re-sending anything.
Book Me + live availability
A Book Me call-to-action and your live availability calendar sit on the kit — a booker who likes what they hear can act on the spot.
What makes an EPK that gets replies
Bookers skim dozens of acts a week — the habits of press kits that survive the cut.
Win the 30-second scan
A booker opening your kit is asking four questions, fast: who are you, what do you sound like, can you actually play a room, and what do you cost. An EPK that answers those in the first scroll — name and genre up top, a player that works in-page, verified reviews, a visible rate card — gets a reply. One that opens with three paragraphs of biography gets closed. The block system exists for exactly this: lead with the Music Player and Reviews, keep the long bio further down.
PDFs rot. Links don't.
The traditional press kit is a PDF attachment — accurate the day you exported it, wrong within a month. New photos, a better review, a rate change: every update means re-exporting and re-sending, so most acts never do. A published GigXchange EPK reads your live profile: the version a booker opens is always the current one, and the link you put in a festival application in March is still right in September.
Proof beats adjectives
Every act's bio says "tight, professional and versatile". What a booker actually trusts is evidence: ratings from verified bookings, real numbers in a Stats block, a setlist that shows you can fill two 45s. The Reviews block only renders feedback from bookings that really happened on the platform — which is precisely why it's worth more than any pull quote you could paste in yourself.
Make the next step obvious
The kit's job isn't applause — it's a booking. That's why Book Me and live availability are blocks on the page: a booker who likes what they hear can check your free dates and start the booking in the same sitting, with a contract and protected payment attached. No "email us for avails" dead end.
One link, everywhere you pitch
Put the same URL in your Instagram bio, your email signature, and every cold pitch — the venue outreach templates are written with an EPK link slot for exactly this. Pair it with the UK Gig Rate Calculator so the rate card on your kit matches the market, and work the live gig directory for rooms worth pitching. For the wider playbook, see how to get more gigs.
