Get Matched With the Gig of Your Life!

Now-a-days we’ve been hearing an awful lot about all these dating apps: you go through a bunch of various people, you swipe right on the ones you like and hope to get matched with the love of your life. But what happens if we take this idea and put it in the context of the music world? Make sure to keep reading to find out.

The Perfect Match

Here at youbloom, we call this concept “Artist Matching” and it works pretty much the same way. Well, minus the swiping part. youbloom designed it specifically for artists, bands, and talented people, to make sure you get a perfectly tailored gig every time!

Creating The Global Music Village

It might sound complicated, but it’s really not. We do most of the work for you! Once you’ve signed-up as an artist with youbloomConnect, we search the youbloomConnect database to find artists similar to you. At this point, we consider the music genre, location, musical goals, etc. After the initial due diligence, you’ll be notified of the person or band we think you’d match well with.

Now For the Fun Part

Let’s just say both of you accept the match… this is where all the fun begins! In a nutshell, you promote the band you matched with and vice versa. Then, you perform together. Perhaps, you’d work together. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll hit the road for tour together and most importantly you might make a friend for life! Helps you build a music network and co-market with fellow artists around the world. Not only will you grow your fan base, but there’s a good chance you’ll make connections within the music industry along the way.  It will create countless opportunities for you and your band to play your music, tour and get paid!

The Bigger Picture

This is how we help the independent music industry connect and how we create The Global Music Village! So become a part of it today! Sign-up as a youbloomConnect artist and get matched for the gig of your life!
