How it works

  1. Sign in with your phone number. The code comes on WhatsApp, so there is no password.
  2. Set up your profile: what you play, your city, your genres, your usual fee and a demo link (YouTube or Instagram).
  3. Browse open gigs by district and apply to the ones that fit, with your fee and a short note.
  4. The host compares applicants, can chat with you, and picks who plays. Once you both confirm, the booking is set and you get a booking pass with the details.
  5. Play the gig and get paid directly by the host, on the terms shown on the gig: after the gig, or with a 25% or 50% advance.
  6. After the event, the host can review you, and the reviews build your profile.

Get found on Google

Your profile has its own link, booksyte.in/@yourname, to share on WhatsApp and Instagram. Once it's complete (an intro, your genres, a demo link and a photo), it can also show up when hosts search Google for performers like you. You can switch that off on your Profile page at any time.
