Built to protect the people who make the music.
Music unifies, heals, and brings joy to our communities. The people who make it deserve fair pay, real protections, and a platform that works as hard as they do.
Fair pay, by design
Suggested rates built on real Austin market data. Set your packages once and end the back-and-forth. No hidden cuts, no playing for pennies.
Your terms, in writing
Performance contracts, tech riders, and your own cancellation policy attach to every booking automatically. Zero awkward emails.
Advocacy beyond the gig
Built-in artist protection checklists, educational resources for artists, and venue support with the infrastructure to power the Texas Music Incubator Rebate (TMIR) program.
When the right musician walks into the room, an experience is created that nobody forgets. Riff exists to make that happen more often.
A look inside
Your profile, live in minutes.
No hoops, no gatekeepers, no fees. This is the real thing.
Add your Spotify player and socials
Drop in your Spotify player embed code, YouTube videos, Instagram, and other social platforms so bookers can hear you and watch your performances before they book or send a message. Your talent does the selling.
Build packages that fit how you gig
Replace hourly haggling with flat-priced packages you define, from a full wedding set to a four-hour DJ night.
Set your own cancellation policy
Choose flexible, standard, or strict, or write your own in plain language. It shows on your profile, at checkout, and in every booking contract, and it's built right into Riff's payment system so deposits and refunds follow your terms automatically.
Protecting artists, always. That's advocacy in the product.
Run everything from one dashboard
Availability, messages, and payouts through Stripe, all in one place. Import your reviews from GigSalad, The Knot, Google, and other platforms from the very beginning, and verified Riff reviews stack alongside them so bookers can see all that you have to offer.

The other side of the stage
This is how bookers find you.
Anyone hiring an artist, band, or instructor browses profiles in their area, complete with your streaming audio, videos, packages, rates, and availability. Your existing reviews come with you, and verified Riff reviews build from your very first booking.
