SUMMARY
ChatGPT said: ChatGPT At the start of 2024, I began my DJ journey and quickly faced the challenges of breaking into an oversaturated industry. Platforms like SoundCloud, with 140 million users, make visibility feel like luck. In NYC, venues often avoid unknown artists, leaving emerging DJs struggling for gigs. This highlighted a gap: the lack of seamless tools to connect DJs with venues and audiences. Building a portfolio, pitching to venues, and starting with low-paid gigs demand resilience, underscoring the need for a better solution.

Emerging DJs face credibility and booking challenges, while venue managers struggle with finding reliable talent and clear communication. To bridge these gaps, I created SoundStage, a platform that integrates music streaming, networking, and booking tools, streamlining connections and fostering collaboration.
Outcome
SoundStage revolutionizes music by combining streaming, networking, and booking in one platform. It simplifies processes for DJs and venues, fostering transparency and efficiency. With a freemium model, premium tools, booking commissions, and sponsorships, it ensures accessibility and sustainability. SoundStage empowers DJs, streamlines talent discovery for venues, and enhances audience engagement, redefining industry collaboration amid a booming live music market.
