Early access · UK

Where brands meet the street.

Buskwire connects brands with local street performers for marketing that people actually stop and notice — and pays working musicians to do what they love.

The idea in one line

Authentic, in-person marketing powered by local musicians. Brands get real-world attention and measurable reach. Artists get paid, reliable gigs.

How it works

From booking to buzz, in three steps.

  1. 01

    Find your artist

    Browse local buskers by location, style and audience. Book a one-off activation or an ongoing campaign.

  2. 02

    They perform, branded

    Your musician plays in public with your signage, QR code and “music brought to you by you”. Real people, real streets.

  3. 03

    See the impact

    Track performances, QR scans, live streams and social reach. Keep the artists who deliver; support the scene.

Two sides, one wire

Built for both sides of the pitch.

For artists

Get paid to play.

  • Reliable, prepaid gigs near you.
  • Earn extra on every QR scan and live stream.
  • Grow your own following while you perform.

For brands

Attention people don’t scroll past.

  • Authentic, local, human — not another ignored billboard.
  • Measurable reach: scans, streams, social.
  • Support working artists and tell that story.

Why now

People walk past a hundred ads a day and remember none. They stop for a busker.

Buskwire turns that genuine human attention into a channel brands can use — and into a living for the artists who create it.

FAQ

Good questions.

Is this live yet?

Not yet. Buskwire is pre-launch and we’re gathering interest to see where to start. Join the waitlist and you’ll be among the first invited to early access.

I’m a busker — does it cost me anything?

No. Joining is free for artists. Buskwire exists to get you paid, reliable gigs — not to charge you to find them.

What kind of brands is this for?

Anyone who wants real-world attention — from independent local businesses (cafés, shops, venues) to music-adjacent brands and labels. If your customers walk past a busker, this is for you.

Which cities?

We’re starting in London first, then expanding to other UK cities based on where artists and brands sign up. Add your location when you join so we know where the demand is.
