Gig Life Pro creates real industry access across Asia-Pacific and beyond. We connect artists, teams, and partners with successful people in the right markets—empowering them with local insights and broader industry knowledge to guide their growth. We are a community growing the music business through shared experience and valuable opportunities. By providing a stage for those who have run successful campaigns, we inform and inspire the next wave of industry leaders.

Gig Life Pro is open to everyone working in or around music—artists, managers, students, labels, promoters, producers, and more. We welcome members at every stage, from emerging talent to established leaders, united by a shared commitment to growing the music industry.

Yes, you can join from anywhere in the world. Our community spans 82 countries—from the United States and United Kingdom to South Korea, Brazil, and Nigeria. Wherever you are, you can connect, collaborate, and grow within our global music industry network.

Gig Life Pro was founded by Priya Dewan, a Billboard-recognized music industry veteran who has worked at Warp Records and The Orchard, and represented top artists like BTS, Stray Kids, CHVRCHES, James Blake, and Flying Lotus across APAC. After decades of experience in recorded and live music, she launched Gig Life Pro to share her network, insights, and resources with the next generation of music professionals, empowering members to take action, grow their careers, and shape the future of music.

Start by joining as a member—choose a free plan for basic access or a paid plan for full benefits. Free members can connect with the community and stay updated on events. Paid members unlock additional opportunities: networking sessions, submitting perks, co-hosting showcases, and partnering on content and events.

Subscribe to our newsletter via the landing page, and follow us on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube. Check our platform regularly for news, events, and opportunities. Members also receive exclusive email updates with early access to events, perks, and community announcements—separate from the newsletter subscription.

Gig Life Pro is more than a networking space. It’s a structured ecosystem built for music professionals.

We combine global reach with deep insight and strong APAC roots to create meaningful, career-building opportunities rather than surface-level connections.

Through curated industry mixers, advisory programs, educational content, and a vetted partner network, we help artists, managers, and industry professionals turn relationships into real momentum.

We’re not a directory. We’re a launchpad.

With nearly 2,000 members averaging more than a decade of industry experience, our community spans 60+ markets and 50+ professional roles globally.

Our community guidelines ensure Gig Life Pro is a safe, professional, and trusted space for music professionals to connect, collaborate, and access opportunities. Community quality is our priority, and these guidelines help foster a respectful, inclusive, and high-quality environment where all members can grow and thrive.

Gig Life Pro is a global community of music professionals and creatives. To keep our community welcoming and professional, members are expected to:

• Respect cultural, regional, stylistic, gender, and identity differences

• Act honestly, ethically, and professionally in all interactions

• Celebrate creativity, collaboration, mentorship, and knowledge sharing

Harm isn’t always obvious — it can include unprofessional behavior, unfair treatment, or scams that undermine trust. To protect the community, Gig Life Pro carefully vets all members, opportunities, events, and perks so everyone can connect, collaborate, and grow safely.

Members are encouraged to verify opportunities, offers, and events before engaging directly with the platform, as Gig Life Pro vets these to reduce the risk of scams or deceptive practices.

• Harassment or bullying

• Discrimination or hate speech

• Sexual or inappropriate content

Deleting your account is a separate action that requires password confirmation. Once deleted, your profile and access are permanently removed. Account deletions are voluntary.

If you change your mind after deleting, you can create a new account, as deleted accounts cannot be reactivated.

If your account, subscription, or access isn’t working correctly, contact the Gig Life Pro team and we’ll help.

Keeping Gig Life Pro a high-quality, professional community is a shared effort:

• Gig Life Pro Team: Sets the rules, enforces guidelines, and makes final decisions. Gig Life Pro actively monitors the platform to ensure a safe environment for all members.

• Members: Engage respectfully, follow the guidelines, and report issues to help maintain a safe, uplifting environment

Gig Life Pro enforces guidelines fairly and proportionally. Members can report concerns, and all enforcement actions are private, documented, and appealable.

We communicate guideline updates clearly and ensure decisions can be reviewed to maintain trust and transparency.

• Reports are to be submitted via email

• Provide evidence where possible (screenshots, links, dates, or context)

• Members are protected from retaliation when reporting in good faith

Once a report is submitted, the Gig Life Pro team reviews it promptly and takes appropriate action to resolve the issue and protect the community.

All reports and enforcement actions are handled confidentially to protect both the reporter and the community.
