How it works

Find, book, agree, pay.

Find

Search everyone by what they do, name or genre, distance from a town or postcode, social reach, and whether they're free on your date.

Book

Press Book on their page. The booking types that fit you both appear, and the right agreement is drawn up from the terms you enter.

Agree

You sign and send. They sign, change the terms and sign their version, or decline, back and forth until you've both signed the same one.

Pay

Deposits, balances and settlements by card, straight to whoever's owed, or marked as paid if you settle another way. Both calendars update.

Your page

Like your own website, at digmusik.com/@you.

  • News posts, and your latest posts from YouTube, Bluesky and Mastodon
  • Social links and reach: followers checked where the platform allows, stated where it doesn't, and labelled
  • Examples of work: records, sessions and shows, with what you did
  • Services, prices and revision terms, and reviews only from finished work
  • Dates you're free or busy, kept up to date by your bookings
  • Your plugins and chains, for free or for sale

For everyone it takes

What each kind of page does.

Bands and artists

Members with their own pages, songs with writers and agreed splits, live set lengths and backline, press quotes, videos and dates. Ask venues for gigs, hire venues, and book studios, engineers, producers, players and crew. Band members get a group chat.

Venues

Capacity, stage, PA, lighting, backline, load-in, curfew, accessibility and deals for artists. List your open dates, find bands by area, reach and free dates, book them, and work out the settlement from the night's figures.

Studios

Rooms and rates, a four-week calendar, your team, your gear grouped by type, work made there, and booking with a deposit and the studio agreement sent when you confirm. More for studios

Engineers and producers

Services with prices, turnaround, revision rounds and deposit up front, credits confirmed on the songs you've worked on, examples of your work, and reviews only from finished jobs.

Session players, singers and writers

Your instruments, genres and credits, booked on a session agreement (fee, credit and buy-out) or, for producers, a production agreement with points.

Crew

Sound, lighting, staging, backline, tour managers, photo and video: your services, day rate and the dates you're free, booked on a crew agreement with overtime, travel and kit.

The agreements

The right contract for each booking, drawn up for you.

Plain-English standard forms that both sides can accept as fair. You fill in the terms; the agreement is written around them; you change them until you both sign the same version. Every version and signature is kept.

The agreements are between the two of you; DigMusiK isn't a party to them. They're starting points, not legal advice: for anything large, take your own advice.

Getting paid

The money goes straight to whoever's owed it.

Card payments go to the payee's own Stripe account; DigMusiK never holds the money. Whoever pays adds DigMusiK's 15% booking fee and card processing, so the person paid receives the whole agreed amount, and the full price is always shown, fees included, before anyone pays. Payments made another way can be marked as received.

  • A deposit when the agreement's signed
  • The balance for fixed fees
  • For shares of the door, tickets or bar: a settlement worked out from the night's figures, shown to both sides
  • One list of everything you've paid and been paid, with a download for your accounts
