We're musicians ourselves. We know the questions that come up before any show or release: Where can we play and how much will it be? Who can we trust? Has anyone worked with them before? And where do we find information that helps?
Our goal: less aimless searching, less spam, and instead more facts that are immediately useful.
We want knowledge to be accessible and opportunities to be visible. We want to build a community where artists share their experiences with each other.
We founded Atrium because we wished for something like this to exist ourselves. We were tired of digging through Facebook groups, Instagram profiles, group chats, and other random sources. Since no one else had solved this yet, we decided to take matters into our own hands.
To us, that also includes experiences with venues and service providers. Mina, for example, is a co-founder of the Womxn in Music initiative in London, because she has experienced herself that safety and awareness still aren't standard practice in live venues and studios.
However, we don't want to speak for everyone. Atrium wants to create a space for different experiences, genres, and career paths.
Your experience helps the next person.
Atrium gets better with everyone sharing their experiences. Add a venue and tell us how it was. Together, we can create a more inclusive live music scene.
Short answer: We'll never take money from artists.
We fund ourselves through donations, grants, and support from companies like record labels or music management.
We also earn sales commissions on some additional services we feature on Atrium. If you buy such a service through our platform, the provider may pay us a commission for it.
We want you to know where our recommendations come from. Any service provider we recommend, we've used for our own shows and projects – at our own expense, and for years. We've been using these services since long before we ever thought of Atrium.
That means our recommendations don't exist because someone is paying us for them. They're all based on our own experience with the offers.
Wherever we have a financial relationship with a provider, we mark it clearly as such. Being transparent matters more to us than making money off it.
We make the information artists need accessible.
We help you find the right venues and providers.
We take safety seriously, both physically and mentally. We don't think an opportunity is a good one if it makes you feel unsafe or uncomfortable.
We stand for diversity and inclusion. Atrium is here for every artist, regardless of genre, background, or career path.
We want information that is genuinely useful to you – not a random collection of offers, and no spam.
Tell us about it.
