The link in bio built for musicians
One link for your Instagram bio: your music, free dates, upcoming gigs and a booking button. GigXchange builds it from your profile, so it is ready before you touch anything.

5 looksYour Instagram Microsite
Walk the microsite
A real Instagram Microsite on GigXchange, screen by screen - the page a follower opens from an artist's bio, then the editor behind it.
Every "link in bio" story sends people to the same place. Fans after tickets, a promoter checking the music and a venue looking for a free Friday all go through it - so whatever sits behind it has to answer all three, and still be right after next week's gig.
The Instagram Microsite is built from your GigXchange profile instead, so it moves when your profile moves. Below is a real one - The Velvet Pines, a folk duo from Cardiff - exactly as a follower sees it on a phone, and then the editor where the artist picks the look.

The first screen
The artist's name over their own photo, the genre and home town, then the booking button and the social links.
- Who and whereFolk, Cardiff - the two things a booker checks first.
- Book meCheck a date & book me opens the free dates.
- SocialsThe slots for the accounts the artist has added light up.
The Velvet Pines show a 4.0 rating from 1 review and a fee of £200-£500 under the name. Their Instagram slot is lit because it is on their profile; the other five slots wait for links they have not added yet.

- PhotosThe profile photos follow as a strip.
Here the week of 26 October to 1 November is open every night, and the header reads Weekend free Fri 30 Oct. Five photos sit underneath.

One link has to do a lot of work
Your bio link is where every "link in bio" sends people. What goes behind it decides whether a follower becomes a fan, and a fan becomes a booking.
The bio link is the busiest link you have
Every story that says "link in bio" sends people through the same link - fans after tickets, a promoter checking whether you are any good, a venue looking for a free Friday. If that link points at one release or one ticket page, everyone else hits a dead end.
A page that keeps itself current
The Instagram Microsite reads your GigXchange profile: add a gig, a review or a free date there and the page shows it. You only open the editor to change the look or the order of the sections.
Put the booking where the bookers already are
Promoters and venue bookers scroll Instagram like everyone else. With your free dates on the page, a venue, promoter or event organiser can ask for a night straight away instead of messaging you and waiting. The request lands in your GigXchange inbox with the date attached - see how bookings work on GigXchange for artists.
Turn followers into a list you own
Followers belong to the platform; a mailing list belongs to you. Join my list on the page signs fans up to the same list you email from Fans & Mailing List, so the next tour announcement reaches them even when the algorithm does not.
One profile, many pages
The microsite is one of several pages built from the same profile: the EPK for pitching promoters, the tour poster for your run of dates and the booking widget for your own website. Keep the profile current and all of them follow.
Artists already on GigXchange
Every artist here has a free profile - and with it an Instagram Microsite, the EPK and the booking calendar in one place.
