Ask for recommendations and musical repertoire

When finding the right musician for your performance, make sure to ask for recommendations and check their musical repertoire. Ask the musician to show you videos of past events and performances, so you can get a good idea of the standard they can offer. Also, make sure to double-check if the artist is comfortable in different music genres before signing a contract. By taking your time when searching and conducting research, you will soon find an amazing musician who will truly help make your performance shine!

Listen to audition reels

Before starting to collaborate with a musician, it’s important to listen carefully to their audition reels. This type of recording can give you an insight into the level of professionalism and talent they bring to the stage. Ask the musician to provide you with samples of their musical repertoire, so that you can make sure it fits with your event’s style and theme. Listening to these recordings will also help you determine whether or not the musician has proper technique for your performance needs.
