It's not just disorganised - it's costing you real money every single month.

Forgetting to invoice - gigs slip through the cracks and you never chase the money

Under-claiming mileage - guessing your miles means leaving hundreds on the table at tax time
🏦
No idea what you actually earn - you know the headline fees, not what's left after fuel, gear, and fees

Guessing at tax time - a weekend of dread, digging through texts and bank statements

"I got a phone call out of the blue one Friday night asking me where I was."
A working musician, on a gigging forum

Every gigging musician knows the cold-sweat version of that story. The gig that lived in a diary you stopped checking, the double booking, the money you never chased because it never made it out of a text thread. One missed entry and that venue never rings you again.

Musician One was built by a gigging DJ who ran his own diary across two calendars, a spreadsheet and a pile of screenshots, then decided that was daft. It syncs the calendars and sheets you already use, so every gig lands in one place with the fee, the miles and the invoice attached.

It's an honest early build. No fake reviews, no inflated numbers, and the first musicians in shape where it goes next.

Frequently asked questions

No card required, no gig limit. Premium adds the EPK, lineup management, the AI assistant, and auto-cascade dep cover (coming soon).
Can I cancel anytime? +

How does Musician One handle agency commission? +
Save each agency once with its commission rate (Musician One handles tiered rates too). Every gig you book through them shows your take-home after their cut, so you always know what you actually keep. Direct bookings sit at 0%.
Does Musician One work with Making Tax Digital? +
Musician One keeps your income, mileage, and expenses organised automatically and exports them in an HMRC-ready format (CSV or PDF) any time. When MTD quarterly reporting becomes mandatory for your income level, you'll already have everything in order.
Is Musician One only for singers? +
No. Musician One works for any self-employed UK performer - singers, session musicians, DJs, pianists, guitarists, tribute acts, wedding bands, function musicians, entertainers. If you do gigs and need to track income and expenses for tax, Musician One is for you.
Can gigs be sent to me from band leaders or agencies? +
Yes - this is one of Musician One's unique features. If your band leader uses Musician Tracker or your agency uses ClientFlow, gigs can arrive in your Musician One app pre-filled with all the details. Accept with one tap.
Can I pass a gig I can't make to someone else? +
Yes, and it's free. Pass it straight to the person you want in your contacts. They see the venue, date, and fee, accept in one tap, and it lands in their diary. It's a direct pass, not a mass text to your whole list. Premium adds an automatic cascade that works through your top picks one at a time, if you'd rather it find cover for you.
Can I use Musician One for my Self Assessment tax return? +
Absolutely. Musician One generates a tax summary showing total income, mileage allowance, commission, and expenses - broken down exactly how HMRC wants it. Export and hand it to your accountant, or use it to file yourself.
Does it sync with Google Calendar or my band's spreadsheet? +
Both, and both ways. Connect Google Calendar and your gigs appear there while events you add in Google can be reviewed and imported as gigs. Connect the Google Sheet your band already uses and edits flow in both directions, with a conflict checker so nothing gets silently overwritten.
Is my data secure? +
Yes. Musician One uses encrypted connections and secure cloud storage. Your financial data stays yours - we never share it with third parties.

If gig admin is quietly stressing you out, this is for you.

Stop guessing what you earn, what you're owed, and what you can claim. Start knowing.
