A music marketplace that books the talent for you
About the project
The service helps users find and book talent according to their requests. The app covers various genres of music for different types of events, so an organizer walks in with an occasion and leaves with a performer.
We conducted specific research to highlight the strong sides and the needs of users. The design went through several stages and was tested before it shipped.
The create-event option asks a few questions and finds the right musician for the type of event and the organizer's preferences; browsing goes by genre, rating, location or availability, and charts surface people whose music the user already enjoys.

The booking process was made easy and secure: it implements robust support of industry-level encryption and security standards, so money and bookings move in the same flow.

Intuitive filters return the most granularly defined results an organizer can ask for, by genre, location or availability.

The messaging and notification center supports file sharing, user actions and push notifications: everything expected from a messenger, so the whole booking stays inside the app.

Examine all detailsEvery performer's profile carries the detail needed to contact and book them for an upcoming event. 
Book and cooperateIn-app booking connects the organizer directly with the musician, for the event itself or to build a band together.
Results
The app lets a user examine all the details of a band or a singer, then contact and book them for an upcoming activity: in-app booking invites a musician directly, with the booking running direct between the organizer and the musician.
It also works the other way around: find a like-minded person to start a band, or a backup singer for a single gig.
