## What is SpecialRequest?

Special Request brings artists and their audience together. Guests request songs, vote for their favorites and leave tips. The artist decides what plays next.

FOR ARTISTS AND DJS
• Create an event in seconds and share it with a QR code or a link
• Guests request from their phone's browser: no app or account needed
• Votes push the most wanted songs to the top
• Accept or decline each request, and give a reason if you want
• Collect requests weeks ahead for weddings and private parties
• Keep an event private with an access code
• Limit requests to one of your playlists and block explicit songs
• Read guests' dedications and shout-outs
• Receive tips on requests and cash out from your wallet
• Accepted songs go straight into an Apple Music, Tidal playlist, ready in Serato DJ, rekordbox, djay, VirtualDJ, Traktor and more

• For guests: a little celebration when a new request unlocks.
