All genres of music
We feel that Miami’s live music scene could be %100% BETTER if properly organized. Our strategy is to act as the driving force for communication between artists, venues, and the music industry at large. Artists should be afforded the professional work environment they deserve. Artist’s needs are availability of gigs, proper compensation, proper sound, and exposure. Venues provide the opportunity for access to quality live music. Proper conditions between the two will create the platform that will satisfy the general public's demand for gaining access to live music.
We also are interested in helping establishments who have never thought of having live music by showing them how they can do so. Whether its jazz, classical, singer songwriter, rock, Latin, hip hop, etc. there are establishments of different sizes that can handle certain avenues of music.
Miami has an ABUNDANCE of UNTAPPED MUSICAL TALENT from all over the world and the public wants to see them perform. Yes there is marketing, yes there are sponsors, and yes there is money involved, however it is more of a grassroots approach. There is no way for them to be heard or make a living in Miami because they are overshadowed by club owners who are afraid of live music and more comfortable with electronic music(DJ's), so artists move on. WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THAT because we feel that the public DOES WANT TO SEE LIVE MUSIC. THEY SIMPLY DON'T HAVE A USER-FRIENDLY/READILY AVAILABLE WAY OF ACCESSING IT.
IF YOU’RE AN ARTIST OR A VENUE THAT WANTS TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED PLEASE CONTACT US:
