How Real Works
1 Make music!
We work with a broad range of artists from established independent artists that are selling out clubs around the world to local artists booking their first gig. We are openminded about working with different genres and styles. We prefer original music, so get creative.
2 Submit your music
We love hearing from talented artists like you!
You can share your music here. We will ask your name, email and where we can hear your music.
We listen to every submission!
3 We ask you to play!
We listen to your music and find a show for you to play at. We host nearly a hundred gigs each year in many genres so we can usually offer you a date right away! If we don’t have a suitable gig available we will get in touch once one becomes available.
You will be asked if you are available to play. If you accept, we will send you a link where you can confirm your gig.
Tip: Confirm as soon as you can because we may offer this date to other artists if we do not hear back!
4 Accept + Confirm
If you agree to perform you will be asked to upload a promo photo of yourself and a description of your music or artist bio.
5 Promote + sell tickets
Everyone involved is expected to work together help promote the show.
6 You play a show!
Here is the fun part! Our gigs are the place to share what you’ve created with the world, make new friends, network with other musicians, and celebrate all the hard work you put into promoting the event.
7 More events and Payment
After your gig you may submit an invoice for payment according the fee agreed on before the show. Many artists will also get offers to play more gigs! If you played well and many people came out to see you we will be in touch about more opportunities!
