Over 71,000 gigs were booked last year on Sonicbids, a website connecting promoters and musicians.  On June 14, 2010, ArtistData became a part of the Sonicbids family.  The founder of Sonicbids said it best, “If Sonicbids is all about booking gigs, ArtistData is all about helping you market those gigs.”
