Book Your Musicians Online

Bookinground

Brief: Istanbul based underground label Bookinground requested a portfolio website to exhibit the bands and musicians in their network, while giving to venues and audiences a chance to interact with their favourite artists.

Outcome: After 12 months of research, Bookinground gathered more than 200 musicians and over 40 bands as part of the early web 2.0 movement.

The website was built to expose each individual musician/band’s particulars and to update the personal page of every musician/band in the Bookinground portfolio.
