Ilivemusic is an Italian digital platform operating within the live music sector, designed to directly connect musicians and event organizers. Co-founded by Lorenzo Pellegrini, the service was created to address the inefficiencies in arranging live music performances.
The core of Ilivemusic's offering is a native application for both iPhone and Android devices that facilitates the entire booking process. Organizers, whether they are venue managers or private individuals, can post event opportunities specifying details such as the date, musical genre, and budget. In turn, musicians, DJs, and bands can create profiles, apply for these gigs, and receive direct responses. This model streamlines the discovery and negotiation process for the approximately 400,000 live music events that take place in Italy annually. While the platform manages the booking negotiation, the final payment is handled directly between the parties involved.
The company's business model is structured around a freemium approach. The basic service of connecting artists and organizers is free. Ilivemusic plans to generate revenue by introducing premium services with added value for users and stakeholders. To fund this expansion, as well as marketing and technological development, the company has pursued equity crowdfunding campaigns. The platform also serves as a comprehensive directory, allowing users to find music venues, rehearsal rooms, music schools, and instrument shops across Italy. Ilivemusic has established partnerships with significant cultural events, such as the Festa della Musica and the May 1st concert in Rome, to manage artist applications and increase participation.
