Why Artists Choose GigXchange

Everything you need to build a gigging career, in one place

No Gatekeepers

Approach any venue directly. No agents required, no auditions, no waiting for someone to "discover" you. Your talent speaks for itself.

Zero Commission

What you agree is what you get. No 15–35% platform cut eating into your fee. GigXchange charges a small platform fee on confirmed bookings only.

Contracts & Payments Built In

Every booking comes with an auto-generated digital contract. Deposits are held securely via Stripe and released when the gig is complete.

How It Works

From signup to getting paid — four simple steps

Step 1

Build Your Profile

Add your genre, location, pricing, availability, photos, audio, and video. Show venues exactly what you bring to the stage.

Step 2

Get Discovered

Venues search by genre, location, budget, and capacity. Your profile works for you 24/7 — even while you sleep.

Step 3

Book & Sign

Receive booking requests, negotiate terms, and sign a digital contract. Or browse open gig listings and apply directly.

Step 4

Play & Get Paid

Show up, play your set, and funds are released automatically via Stripe. No chasing invoices, no cash on the night.

Artist FAQ

Free to join, free to create your profile, free to browse gigs. We only charge a small platform fee when a booking is confirmed and paid — so you never pay unless you're earning.
Zero commission on your fee. Unlike agencies that take 15–35%, GigXchange charges a small platform fee on the transaction — not a cut of your performance fee. What you agree with the venue is what you get.
Payments are handled through Stripe Connect. When a booking is confirmed, the deposit is held securely. Once both parties mark the gig as complete, funds are released directly to your bank account. No invoicing, no chasing.
No. GigXchange is built for independent musicians who want to handle their own bookings. That said, if you do have an agent, they can manage your bookings on the platform too — agents are a first-class user type.
All of them. Solo artists, duos, trios, full bands, DJs, classical ensembles — if you perform live music, you belong here. Jazz, rock, acoustic, electronic, folk, blues, pop, covers, originals — the platform supports every genre.
Our emergency cover system protects you. If a venue cancels after a deposit has been paid, the dispute resolution process ensures you're treated fairly. Deposits are held by the platform, not by the venue.
