Giggem Provides A Matchmaking Service For Musicians, Managers, And Other Industry Professionals

giggem logoIf you know any serious musicians, you've probably heard them talk about the challenges of finding people to play with. You might also have seen those "drummer seeks band" ads in coffee shops or newspapers (or listened to that great segment about those ads on This American Life). Well, a startup called Giggem aims to make it easier for musicians to find bands, for bands to promote themselves to fans, and hopefully to eventually get signed with managers and labels.If you're a musician, you create a profile on the Giggem site showing off your interests and experiences. For example, founder and CEO Emir Turan is a musician himself, so on his profile he lists the type of music that he plays (alternative rock, alternative metal, glam metal, and more), the instruments he plays, his level of experience, and what he's looking for (i.e. a band in his city). He also includes videos, audio tracks and photos of his performances.
