Common questions
How does booking an artist for a private event work?
You share the event details and vibe, Q Music matches and vets artists who fit, those artists submit competitive bids priced to your event, and you review bids, ask questions and book directly from the portal. Instead of negotiating with one vendor, you choose from tailored offers and real individuals.
How are artists priced?
Each artist sets their own price, submitting a private bid specific to your event rather than an agency rate that ignores who is actually playing. Q Music's platform fee sits on top of the bid, so the total you see is the total you pay, and the artist keeps 100% of what they bid.
Are the artists vetted?
Yes, twice. Artists are first matched to your event by the platform, then hand-curated by industry veterans before any of them is invited to bid.
What kinds of events does Q Music book?
Corporate events, weddings, parties and private celebrations, with DJs, live bands, ensembles and performers drawn from a network of more than 1,300 vetted independent artists.
Can I talk to an artist before booking?
Yes. Once bids arrive, you can review each artist's information, ask them questions directly through the portal, and book only when you're ready.
Which cities do you cover?
Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Detroit, with an extended network in most other major markets. Out-of-market bookings are also possible where travel costs allow.
