As an event planner, organizing an event for a special occasion or a corporate event can be time consuming and stressful, especially when you need to find the right professionals. One of the biggest problems that event planners face is finding the right artists to perform at events, but now thanks to Riffer Music that problem has been solved.
Riffer Music makes organizing an event easier. They offer a simple and efficient way to find and book musicians and artists. Event organizers who need artists to perform such as pop singers, rock artists, jazz singers, bands, and DJ’s, can visit Riffer Music and choose from a huge selection of talent.
The new platform takes care of all the details of booking an artist and they even have secure payment system for event planners to book and pay for musicians.
The new platform is not just a great place for event planners to find artists, it’s also a great way for artists to find work. To find out more about Riffer Music, I got together with one of the co-founders to learn more, this is what they had to say.
First of all, please introduce yourself.
I’m Andrea and I’m one of the co-founders of Riffer Music. My background is in sales and finance, and I’ve spent a few years working in the IT industry. I teamed up with Tom, who brings his wealth of experience in both the music and IT industries to the table. He’s not only a co-founder, but also serves as our CTO.
When I met Tom last summer, I was impressed by his working experience and passion for music, and I knew right away that we would make a great team. With Tom on board, we were able to launch Riffer Music earlier this year.
Thanks to our combined experience and love for music, we’ve created a platform that benefits event planners and provides talented musicians with a chance to showcase their skills and expand their reach. We’re thrilled with the progress we’ve made so far, and we’re eager to see where this journey takes us in the future.
You are the founder of Riffer Music, can you explain how you came up with the idea of Riffer Music and why you felt this service was needed?
The idea for Riffer Music came from our own experiences in the industry. We saw a need for a better way to connect musicians with event planners, and we wanted to create a platform that would make the process easier and more efficient. We felt that there was a real opportunity to bring something new and innovative to the industry, and that’s why we started Riffer Music.
One of the big problems when it comes to organizing special events is trying to locate artists to perform, so how does your service work?
Absolutely, locating the right artist for a special event can be a major challenge. In fact, it’s one of the biggest obstacles that event planners face, especially when it comes to booking emerging artists. Often, event planners tend to stick with bands that they have worked with in the past, creating a cycle where it’s difficult for new artists to break in. With Riffer Music, we aim to break this cycle by providing a platform where anyone can be booked and ensuring a safe and fair transaction for all parties involved.
Finding the right artist to perform at an event can cause a huge amount of stress as well as time, so how easy is it to use your service, and how much of that stress do you remove?
Using Riffer Music is incredibly easy and straightforward. Our platform simplifies the process of finding and booking the perfect artist for your event in just a few clicks. Once you have signed up and created an account, you can browse through our diverse range of talented musicians, search for artists based on your event’s specific requirements, and book the one that best suits your needs.
Our platform also provides a secure payment system, making the booking process as smooth and hassle-free as possible. By taking care of the logistical details and ensuring a safe and secure transaction, we remove a significant amount of stress from the process of booking an artist for your event. With Riffer Music, you can rest assured that you’ll have access to a wide range of talented artists, all in one convenient platform, without the added hassle and stress of traditional booking methods.
What type of artists do you have on your books?
Absolutely! Our service is available to anyone who needs to book a musician for an event, whether it’s a private party, a wedding, or a corporate event. We work with event planners and venues of all sizes, and we’re committed to providing an exceptional user experience for everyone who uses our platform.
How do people who want an artist to perform at their event know they are getting a good performer, do you do background checks?
At Riffer Music, we take the safety and quality of our platform very seriously. When an artist signs up, they go through a verification process with Stripe to ensure that their personal and banking information is legitimate. We also manually review each artist’s profile, listening to their music and checking all social links to ensure that they are a good fit for our platform. This helps to give event planners peace of mind, knowing that they are booking a real person and can browse reviews from other event planners before making their decision. So, our platform makes it easier for event planners to find the right artist for their event with confidence.
You work with venues and party planners, but what if someone who is organizing a private party for a wedding, or a special event, can they also use your service?
Absolutely! Our service is available to anyone who needs to book a musician for an event, whether it’s a private party, a wedding, or a corporate event. We work with event planners and venues of all sizes, and we’re committed to providing an exceptional user experience for everyone who uses our platform.
One of the biggest worries that some venues have is if the performer cancels at the last minute due to other arrangements or ill health, if this happens using your service, do you provide a backup plan?
Our platform does not provide a backup plan for performers who cancel at the last minute due to other arrangements or ill health. However, we have a strict cancellation policy in place that helps to minimize unexpected cancellations. In the event of a cancellation, the parties involved must create a dispute, and the Riffer Music team will review it. Refunds may be issued in certain circumstances, but Riffer Music fees are non-refundable. Additionally, the community takes no-shows very seriously, and the Artist may face suspension from our platform. We encourage constant communication between the Artist and the Venue or Event Coordinator to prevent any misunderstandings. Ultimately, our cancellation policy helps to ensure that everyone involved in the booking process is held accountable for their actions and helps to minimize the likelihood of unexpected cancellations.
For artists wanting to sign up to your service, what can they expect from you. What I mean is, do you provide marketing services to help them gain gigs at venues and special events?
We do not currently offer a marketing service for artists, but we provide a simple profile that they can share on various platforms, with the knowledge that the page can also be used for their booking. Thanks to the significant number of visitors to our website, our official event blog, and social media interactions, artists can expect an additional boost in terms of visibility. Not to mention the upcoming services we plan to launch at various stages in the future.
You have already become a successful business, but where do you see Riffer Music in five years?
