NYC Talent Buyers: Evaluate Emerging Musician Profiles

What We're Researching

We are running a paid study on how talent buyers evaluate emerging New York City musicians. Your feedback will help refine the artist discovery process for a live-music booking platform. We want to understand what information drives booking decisions and how quickly those decisions are made.

How It Works

You will review short profiles of emerging musicians on your own schedule. For each artist, you will examine their bio, genres, rate, availability, and performance clips. You will then answer a few quick questions on the page, including whether you would book them, which types of rooms fit their style, and a brief one-line note. The process takes about two minutes per artist profile.

Who This Is For

We welcome talent buyers, venue managers, and event planners who book live music. Ideal candidates have experience matching artists to specific rooms and audiences in the New York City market. We also welcome booking agents and promoters who understand the local music scene.

• Provide a one-line note summarizing your booking decision.
