How it works

Simple, curated bookings

The Music isn't a free‑for‑all classifieds site. We work directly with artists and clients so every booking has a human in the loop.

1 · Tell us about your event

Share the basics – date, venue, city, budget and what kind of vibe you want. Acoustic, full band, background, sing‑along… we speak your language.

2 · We match you with artists

We look at our roster of performers and suggest options that fit your requirements. You don't have to cold‑message a dozen musicians.

3 · We handle the details

The Music manages communication with the artist – times, rates, tech setup and expectations – so you get a clear, simple booking.

For artists

Join The Music roster

We're building a curated list of South African artists – from acoustic solo acts to bands and DJs – and handling bookings through the platform.

Focused on live work

The platform is built for shows – weddings, venues, events. We focus on connecting you with clients who are ready to book.

Platform in the middle

Clients make enquiries through The Music. We protect your details and only share what's needed for confirmed bookings.

Apply to be listed

When sign‑ups open, you'll be able to submit your details, links and live videos. Every artist is reviewed before being approved on the site.

Bookings

Start your enquiry

For now, bookings are handled directly through the platform. Share a few details and we'll get back to you with artist options.

What to include in your message

When you contact us, it helps to share:

  • Date and time
  • Venue + city
  • Type of event (wedding, corporate, venue night, private)
  • Approximate budget for music

The Music will respond with options and next steps. All communication and agreements run through the platform.
