About Gigged

Built by a music lover, for everyone who deserves an unforgettable event

Why I Built Gigged

Growing up in New Zealand's music scene, I saw firsthand how hard it was for talented musicians and DJs to get discovered and how stressful it was for people trying to organise events to find the right talent.

Musicians were relying on word-of-mouth, expensive managers, or scattershot social media posts. Event hosts were spending hours searching through Instagram and Facebook groups, never sure if they'd found the right person or the right equipment.

There had to be a better way. A single place where New Zealand's best talent could be found, reviewed, and booked without the middlemen, without the friction.

That's why I built Gigged.

Our Mission

Two simple goals that drive everything we build

For Musicians & Vendors

Improve visibility for DJs, musicians, and equipment vendors across New Zealand. Create more gig opportunities without needing expensive managers or relying purely on word-of-mouth. Your talent should speak for itself.

For Event Hosts

Make it simple and affordable to find the right talent for your event. Whether it's a birthday, wedding, or corporate function — you deserve access to quality, verified professionals without the search headaches.

What We Stand For

Simplicity First

Booking talent should take minutes, not hours. We remove every unnecessary step.

Community

We're building a community of NZ talent and event lovers who support each other.

Transparency

Clear pricing, honest profiles, real reviews. No hidden fees, no nasty surprises.
