MusicCred is a platform that connects artists, venues and fans, built to simplify and streamline the live music booking process. Founded in 2018 in Destin, Florida.
With a commitment to empowering independent artists and small to medium-sized venues, MusicCred provides the tools and technology needed to succeed in the ever-evolving music industry. In short, and as our company motto suggests, MusicCred is “getting music back to business.”
The app ushers in a new era in the live music industry by simplifying the process for venues to connect with reputable artists, and offering artists a seamless way to book shows and engage with their fanbase. Venue and artist negotiations are streamlined as terms can be discussed directly within the app, while payments for shows are facilitated securely through the app as well. Bookings made through the app become live, public, shareable events for fans looking for live entertainment, and MusicCred’s geo-location technology brings fans closer than ever to the music they love.
MusicCred’s mission is to bring people closer through live music. Its hallmark is inclusivity: welcoming artists and venues of diverse genres and sizes, and promoting a broadened musical horizon for all.
Forging direct relationships between the artist and the venue, no middle layer.
Geo-targeted, searchable events for a personalized experience for fans.
Showcase your live music space or your musical artistry with photos, video and music.
Contract negotiation and payment for shows, in one flow, inside the app.
For artists and venues of every size and every genre.
Credibility is earned and leveraged on the platform, leading to more security in bookings.
A native of Destin, Florida, Chad brings more than 14 years in the music industry to MusicCred, not only as a singer-songwriter himself but as a collaborator with a diverse array of artists: from crafting outfits for Gretchen Wilson and Jessie G for the 2018 CMA Awards to creating custom jewelry for Tanya Tucker, which she wore at the 2020 Grammys. His understanding of the music scene comes from deep connections with the people who make it.
He founded MusicCred in 2018 around a simple idea: the people who make live music and the places that host it deserve tools as good as any other industry’s. Since then he has assembled a team with expertise across technology, the music business and marketing, and introduced the concept of “CoOpetition,” a collaborative approach to modern commerce. Under his leadership MusicCred is not merely observing industry shifts but working to lead them.
I am delighted to support MusicCred for its dedication to bolstering our local musicians and businesses and enhancing our community’s musical landscape. This platform is poised to be a key player in empowering our talented musicians and contributing to Destin’s economic and cultural advancement.
I’m thrilled that there’s finally a company tuned in to our needs and actively devising solutions to critical issues in the music industry. MusicCred makes it easy for me to manage and book all my shows through the app.
Who needs connections in the music biz when you have MusicCred? It’s like having your very own superstar booking agent right by your side.
