Why GigBridge KE

Built on the trust the industry already has. Powered by the tools it deserves.

Live music in Nairobi moves on relationships, reputation and word of mouth — and that culture is our greatest asset. GigBridge KE is the layer that lets it scale, connecting more artists to more stages, locally and globally.

Verified profiles, digital contracts and instant GBK Guarantee (protected M-Pesa payments) give every booking the clarity, speed and protection that today's artists, venues and audiences expect.

Digital contracts

Auto-generated agreements with cancellation terms, set length and rider — signed in two taps.

GBK Guarantee

Client deposits at booking. Funds release to artist (and band members) the moment the gig ends.

Smart pay splits

Bandleaders set the split once. Every musician — including session players — gets paid simultaneously.

Session marketplace

Need a trumpet for Saturday? Post a session call. Verified instrumentalists apply within minutes.

Standard rate cards

Transparent benchmarks per event type and artist tier. No more lowball offers.

Local roots, global reach

Diaspora venues in London, Toronto and Berlin can book and pay Kenyan artists in USD or EUR.

How it works

From profile to payout in four steps.

01

Build your profile

Add your bio, links, genres and availability. Verified artists get seen first.

02

Get booked

Clients send a brief. You review, negotiate and sign a digital contract.

03

Play the gig

Show up, perform, mark the gig complete from your phone.

04

Get paid

GBK Guarantee releases funds to you and your team — usually within minutes.

New · Bring your own band

Already have your people? Just bring them with you.

Most artists already know their drummer, their bassist, their go-to keys player. GigBridge doesn't replace those relationships — it wraps them in structure. Invite your regulars, lock the split before the gig, and everyone gets paid on M-Pesa the moment the show ends.

Invite your team
Send a private invite to your regular players — no open call, no strangers.
Trusted Circle roster
Save your go-to talent. One tap to add them to any new booking.
Recurring bands
Lock your four-piece as a saved group with a fixed split. Confirm as a unit.
