A drummer's answer to touring's biggest headache
Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started playing drums at the age of six, and what began as a childhood hobby has remained a lifelong passion.

Over the years, that passion has taken me from rehearsal rooms to stages across Europe, allowing me to meet incredible people and experience the unique community that exists within the underground music scene.
In 2016, I moved from Germany to Spain, where my journey as a touring musician truly began. Joining Burial Ruthless gave me the opportunity to perform throughout Spain, Portugal and France, experiencing first-hand what it means to be part of an independent touring band.
Later, as the drummer of Absolutism, I played numerous concerts and festivals across Spain and the Czech Republic. From underground venues to festival stages, every performance reinforced one thing: the live music community thrives because of the people behind it.
Today, I proudly play drums for Human Carnage, performing alongside experienced musicians who continue to inspire and challenge me.
Turning individual concerts into a complete tour
Like many musicians, I eventually reached the point where I wanted to turn individual concerts into a complete tour. That's when I discovered how many obstacles stand in the way.
Finding the right contacts—especially in other cities or countries—isn't impossible, but it often takes an enormous amount of time and persistence. On top of that, conversations end up spread across emails, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp and countless notes, making it difficult to keep everything organised.
None of these things should replace personal relationships. In fact, the friendships, trust and connections built within the music scene are what make touring so special. My goal is simply to remove unnecessary barriers.
I want to make it easier to grow
Live music belongs on stages, in clubs, in small venues and at festivals. Art deserves to leave the rehearsal room and reach people wherever they are.
Find each other
Making it easier for bands and venues to find each other, communicate more efficiently and organise information in one place.
Support on the road
Bands can support one another by sharing opportunities on the road, while venues manage booking enquiries and highlight available dates.

Removing unnecessary logistical hurdles so independent artists can focus on bringing their music to new places and new people.
This platform isn't built to replace the community. It's built to strengthen it.
Every successful tour means more music, more cultural exchange and more unforgettable nights for both artists and audiences.
