Working DJs juggle gig opportunities across texts, emails, and group chats — and lose money in the gaps. gigMarket pulls every booking into one place so you can spend less time chasing nights and more time playing them. WHO IT'S FOR Resident DJs, weekend warriors, and traveling artists working with venue bookers, talent buyers, and agencies. If your week is shaped by gigs, this is for you. KEY FEATURES • Booking inbox — Every invitation lands here with the venue, date, set time, and payout up front. Tap accept or decline right on the push notification. Done in seconds. • Availability that books itself — Mark your free nights once. Talent buyers see them in real time and only invite you when you're actually open. No more declining gigs over scheduling collisions. • Music DNA — A radar chart of your strengths across House, Hip Hop, Open Format, R&B, and more. See exactly which genre rooms find you — and which ones don't yet. • Multi-market — Travel for gigs? Set a different schedule for every market you play. Local talent buyers see the right availability automatically. • Invoicing built in — Submit with one tap after the gig. Track approvals, partial payments, and final processing. Resubmit if a hiring party flags anything. Get notified the second you're paid. HOW BOOKING WORKS 1. A talent buyers invites you to a gig. 2. Push notification hits your phone with the venue, date, and pay. 3. Accept or decline without opening the app. 4. Show up, play your set, check in. 5. Submit your invoice, watch payment status, get paid. That's the whole loop. SUPPORT Stuck on something or want to suggest a feature?
