How to present yourself online and book more gigs!
The covid-19-crisis has affected musicians tremendously. At the moment it is still unsure when live music will be an option again. That doesn’t mean musicians are forced to stand still. In this workshop, Maaike van Steenis and Jan Flubacher, will focus on your online presentation as a musician. How can you present yourself digitally to bookers and programmers? What kind of information do they want? How do you get them interested? How do you make sure you stand out?
Maaike and Jan will provide plenty of insights and tips for a strong online presentation. This will help musicians to make sure bookers and programmers will remember them, even when they have no possibilities to see them live. A distinctive online presentation can tempt programmers to book an act in the future. It’s something you can work on during the lockdown.
Maaike van Steenis is one of the Netherlands's best-known marketing and entrepreneurship coaches for musicians. She is also teaching at the conservatories of Codarts (Rotterdam) and ArtEz (Arnhem). She has given lectures and workshops at numerous events and festivals (like inJazz and BUMA Classical in the Netherlands and the Cyprus Jazz and World Music Showcase in Limassol). She recently published her book ‘Tussen Kunst en Cash’ on entrepreneurship for creatives.

Since over 25 years I have been exploring and walking the field of music, as a booking agent, tour manager, festival producer/manager, teacher and lyricist.
For me it is about connection and communication, sowing and reaping that leads to the right artists on the right stages expressing the core of their story. I am the founder of eclectic music festival FlatFest and project manager of festival So What’s Next? And I’m equally passionate about coaching young music students with merging words & music and preparing them for the professional music world.
