In this video I show you how to get booked in the venues you really want to play, even if you don’t know the promoter or you don’t have much of a following yet.

But there is zero point having that information if you don’t know who you should be playing for.

Do you know the 50 promoters who are PERFECT for you to play for?

If you don’t know about them, how are they ever going to know about you?

Most acts I speak to can name a few promoters they want to play for, but they can’t tell me the 2 or 3 promoters in each city that are ideal for them.

Who are the promoters, clubs and festivals in your city, surrounding cities, in your country, surrounding countries and internationally that you should play for in the next 5 years, starting NOW?

You need to know the party, the name of the people that run the event and you need to know exactly how to contact them.

Can you honestly say that you have all of that?

If you don’t – you have a MASSIVE blind spot in your career.

If you don’t have enough bookings – that’s probably a relationships issue.

Let’s plug this hole and get you crystal clear who you need to work with, and how to find them.

After you’ve watched this video, jump over and check my quick video showing you how to go from strangers to booked in the shortest time possible.

Cheers,

Or do you ever feel like there is too much competition from other artists, and worry about how you’re going to stand out and get booked ahead of all the others?

Or maybe you’re getting bookings, but you wonder how you’re going to make those REALLY GOOD bookings happen? You know, the ones that light you up and have you excited for weeks? The career-changing gigs?

Do you worry you don’t have good enough socials to get booked?

Or your following is too small?

Or you haven’t released on big enough labels yet? (Or haven’t released yet at all?)

Of course you do.

Most hungry artists have these fears.

YOU DON’T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ANY OF THIS.

Getting booked is about good music + good relationships.

If you have the good music, now you need the good relationships.

In this video, I show you how to get promoters to work with you. You’ll probably recognise some mistakes you are making in this video, but you’ll also get the solutions as well.

If you take this video and pair it with the last video I sent you (how to find the right promoters) then you have a recipe for bookings THIS WEEK.

My artists go from low bookings to lots of bookings in a very short period, and this is how we do it.

6 REASONS WHY YOU’RE NOT GETTING BOOKED

If you’re not playing as many gigs as you would like, there are probably a few reasons why.

I will guarantee you that you are making at least one of the mistakes, possibly all 6… and they’re f**cking you, and massively holding you back.

When I start working with artists, they usually go from not-many-bookings to LOTS of bookings in just a few weeks, because we concentrate on plugging these 6 holes first.

Messing up on JUST ONE of these will lose you most of your future potential bookings, messing up on more than one can kill a music career before you’ve even started.

The good news is they’re easy to fix (once you’ve identified you need to fix it!)

How many are you guilty of?

SHARE TO VOTE FOR: MVNGO

Tell us a bit about yourself:

My name is Ana, but people in the music scene know me as Mvngo (mango but with a “v”). I’m a Romanian-born and Montreal-based dj and producer with a passion for house music. Summer flows throughout my veins and I’m obsessed with bringing the heat to the dancefloor. With residencies at clubs throughout the world such as NewHaus and cie in Montreal, RockBar in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and the recently winner of the 2022 Yacht Week Croatia Residency competition, I definitely know how to navigate the different sub genres of the House spectrum and can bring high energy as well as seriously good vibes to all my sets! Having only started DJ’ing live in 2020, I’ve already made a name for myself in Montreal securing appearances at major venues including Muzique, Terasse Ciel Rose, Nhau Bar, Cave mtl, Ecole Privee and many more.Growing up in a musical-inclined family I learned to play the piano from a young age and, over the years, have developed a keen ear for everything that gets your body moving. A producer in my own right, I started writing and producing my own brand of house and tech in 2021 and have already been fast tracked for two releases later in 2023. While based in Canada I have an everlasting love for Europe and draw much of my sound and inspiration from the club and dance music scenes from places I’ve visited.

How did you get into DJing?

I got into Djing a year before COVID hit, but really started investing myself full time during the pandemic. 2-3 months into practicing full time, I wanted to start playing live, but didn’t know how to go about it so turned to social media. I had a filmmaker background so I decided to combine the 2 and post everything on reels/tiktok. Surprisingly, people started liking my content and I got a lot of tranction around it. Throughout the messages I received a lot of club owners/promoters contacted me to play at their venues and that’s how it all started! From then, I’ve grown so much as an artist, started producing and connecting with amazing people in the industry throughout the world!

What DJs have had the most influence on you?

First and foremost, Sam Divine. She is a fighter for female rights in this male driven industry and an amazing example to all the women out there trying to make it in the music industry. She just works so hard and has done so much that I have to mention her first. Secondly, i’d say the man that has been influencing my style and music since his hit “Deep End” busted the charts: John Summit. His whole energy is pretty similar to mine and I love the fact that he doesn’t take anything really too seriously. He’s a go with the flow and good vibes type of person which I admire and resemble myself. Lastly, I’d say Carl Cox. He’s one of the pioneers of the industry and kind of an inspiration for all up and coming artists. His love for house and techno music is uncomparable to anyone else and he obviously won a place in my top 3 inspirations.

You’re being put to death, but you can listen to one last track before you die. What track do you choose?

Honestly, my music taste is constantly changing, but if i’d have to chose right now it would definitely be Escape by Kx5, Kaskade, Deadmau5 and Hayla. This song is amazing, from the vocals to the composition itself; I’m really thinking it a masterpiece!

What’s your favourite thing about Ibiza?

I’ve never been to Ibiza, but I can’t skip this question, because from all the stories that I’ve heard and it becoming my dream destination Ibiza just holds this magic that everyone should know about.

What’s the easiest thing about being a DJ?

I think everything about being DJ is easy id you’re passionate enough. It’s an easy and beautiful job that shouldn’t even feel like work! You’re simply vibing with the crowd and playing what you think is appropriate for the place and people you play for!

And what’s the hardest thing about being a DJ?

I think the hardest thing about being a DJ is the uncertainty of your situation. You really have to work hard and push for your opportunities as a DJ, it’s not a job where things get handed to you, but it’s what makes it challenging and fun in the end! No matter what you have to put in a lot of work and I’m here for it!

Best thing about Dance Music culture right now?

The feeling of being at home regardless of who you are or where you came from. I know it is the foundation of the culture, but to this day it never ceases to amaze me the beauty of this united feeling that dance music brings you.

Worst thing about Dance Music culture right now?

Worst thing, however it’s slowly changing now, is the inequality in the industry. It’s a known fact that, to this day, women and gender non-conform people have fewer opportunities than men. Just look at some of the lineups of the most famous festivals; most of the artists are men! Like mentioned before, fortunately this issue is starting to get more attention and there’s more opportunities being created for all the less represented genders!

Why should listeners vote for you?

Listeners should definitely vote for me, because Ibiza flows thru my veins! It’d be a dream come true to open for, none other than; Claptone, in my dream destination Ibiza!! I know I can bring a final summer heat to the dancefloor in Pacha this summer and voters won’t regret it at all!! Remember, no matter who you vote for; you’re always where you’re meant to be a.k.a. at the masquerade closing party in Ibiza listening to house music!

How did you get into DJing?

When I was 8 years old I started on a local radio station, there the love for music has only grown, this to even making my own music

What DJs have had the most influence on you?

Carl Cox, Tiësto, DJ Licious

You’re being put to death, but you can listen to one last track before you die. What track do you choose?

The last track I want to hear is “10 seconds before sunrise” by DJ Tiësto, this music will guide me to the afterlife and brings back beautiful memories of my life here on earth

What’s your favourite thing about Ibiza?

First time I was in ibiza, the song shed my skin just came out, I recently made a new remix of this, which can be heard in my mix.

What’s the easiest thing about being a DJ?

The easiest thing about DJ’ing is transferring the music in your heart to your audience, when you play happy music you also see happy faces

And what’s the hardest thing about being a DJ?

The hardest thing about DJing is making sure people bring back the right memories through your music, not just the bad moments in their lives. it’s all about making people happy with your music, unfortunately a song can enter their heart and soul differently for everyone

Best thing about Dance Music culture right now?

The best thing about our music culture is that you can tell people your story through your choice of songs, you can connect with people you would never meet or meet in your life otherwise. Music brings people together

Worst thing about Dance Music culture right now?

What I regret is that when I started DJ-ing people went out to a club to discover music, now people go to a club to hear music that they listen every day on spotify or radio

Why should listeners vote for you?

I would like people to vote for me so that I can bring back memories with them and this in the most beautiful place in the world, in Ibiza. It would be a recognition on my years long DJ careerGreezt Mr. Rewind

Tell us a bit about yourself:

Hey what’s up I’m Miss Gabrielle, a DJ/Producer from Naarm (Melbourne) I enjoy playing a range of house, tech & latin genres and getting cheeky and saucy in the mix, I love connecting with and supporting others in the electronic music community.

How did you get into DJing?

I first went to Ibiza in 2007 and the magic of sounds blew my mind. One of the closing parties I said to my best friend I wanna do this, I wanna learn to Dj, this is where I wanna be, and she suggested I ask her sister to teach me. I did this as soon as I got home, practiced my heart out on her mostly trance vinyl til I could get myself set up and get my own gear and get my own records and get it going. I’ve never looked back!

What DJs have had the most influence on you?

DJs who have really influenced me:1. Lindy Layton was the DJ at a Pub I worked at in London the same year I got inspired to learn DJing. She always seemed so relaxed and happy, her tracks so diverse and fun. I think she was a mum, as I recall it she’d wear high heels, drink a red wine, some big hot guy or other would carry in her records. To me she just had a spunk and confidence about her, she was always grooving. I didn’t know her well but I just dug her vibe every time, and she was super friendly. It was months before I realised she was the singer of the Beats International version of Dub Be Good To Me, a track I’d always adored. Absolute boss of a chick and artist. Big ups!2. Jeff Mills, what can I say? From seeing him in a tiny sweaty dancefloor in London in which he DJed in a booth in the centre and seemed so sweet, shy and humble when I thanked him at the end, despite having just displayed pure wizardry beyond comparison, to seeing him play with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at The Sidney Myer Music Bowl, it is truly hard to find comparison to this artist. A pioneer and a legend. No doubts.3. The Martinez Brothers!! I just can’t watch these guys without smiling, I love their interpretation of house, their proud latin flavour, the bliss and joy they seem to take in life and in the booth. They just have the magic, don’t they!? I hope to always have as much fun as they look like they’re having when I work too. Vamos!

You’re being put to death, but you can listen to one last track before you die. What track do you choose?

Totó La Momposina – El Pescador (for you pure dance heads the song that was sampled in La Mezcla, Michel Cleis)

What’s your favourite thing about Ibiza?

The feeling that you’re in the warmth of a sun which heals you, that you’re in the Mecca of electronic music, that people from all around the world have also chased that same beat, that same dream, that same euphoria that you have, and here in the beauty of this nature, you hear the freshest most magical underground sounds that can ever be found.

What’s the easiest thing about being a DJ?

Feeling so lucky about your job!

And what’s the hardest thing about being a DJ?

It’s an energy rollercoaster, it’s a big challenge in balance, it can be a battle within yourself at times, but it’s so magic, it’s always worth it.

Best thing about Dance Music culture right now?

I love the fluidity and inspiration across genres! That’s not new of course but I do feel like right now people are more inspired than ever about crossing genres, pulling Baile Funk into pop, Afrobeat into techno, Reggaeton into house, Dance into Hip Hop, RnB into Minimal.. you get my drift!

Worst thing about Dance Music culture right now?

I think it’s so great to increase people’s access to electronic music online if they can’t be there, but at the same time, often everyone on their phones recording instead of loosing themselves in the moment can make me a bit sad.. close your eyes and feel the magic!

Why should listeners vote for you?

I think I’m at the perfect point in my career and my character where I could absolutely bring it- people watching my set feel the euphoria and excellence of none less than the closing party of Pacha Ibiza! Yet I’m still small and would actually be OUT OF MY MIND with excitement about this opportunity. So vote for me and let me bring that excitement back to YOU! Nos Vemos en Pacha!!
