WorldBeat Hub · Worldwide
CONNECT. CREATE.
BE DISCOVERED.
EVERY BEAT. EVERYWHERE. ONE HUB.
WorldBeat Hub is first and foremost where people in music connect. Every role in the industry — artists, DJs, producers, songwriters, engineers, session musicians, vocalists, A&Rs, managers, booking agents, labels, publishers, promoters, publicists, lawyers, media, sync, stylists and more — gets its own tab and a free profile with music and social links. And every genre lives here: dancehall and reggae, Afrobeats, hip-hop, pop, rock, country, jazz, Latin, K-pop, classical, gospel, metal and everything in between. Meet the right people, collaborate, get exposure — and when a connection turns into work, book them through the Hub. Recording studios are one part of that picture, not the whole story.
EVERY ROLE. ITS OWN TAB.
The whole music industry lives here — creative, technical, business and live. This is the heart of the Hub: people finding people. Pick your role to browse its tab, meet who works in it, or join under your own role and get found.
EVERY GENRE. EVERY SOUND.
All genres of music are covered on WorldBeat Hub — no genre is left out. Tap a genre to browse everyone in it across every role and connect with the people making that sound: artists, DJs, producers, engineers, labels and more.
HOW THE HUB WORKS
1 · CREATE YOUR PROFILE
Join free under your role and genre — bio, photo, and your music and social links in one place. Your profile is how the industry finds you.
Join free →2 · GET FOUND & CONNECT
Browse the 24 role tabs and 28 genres, discover people and companies worldwide, and reach out through their links. Exposure and connection come first.
Browse roles & genres →3 · TURN IT INTO WORK
When a connection becomes a booking, send it through the Hub: Request → Confirm → Complete. That covers studio sessions, artist and DJ bookings, production, engineering and every other role.
See booking requests →STUDIOS — $25 USD FLAT FEE
Studio bookings found through the Hub carry a flat $25 USD finder's fee per confirmed booking for the search and connection. It only falls due on confirmation — nobody pays for a booking that never happens. The studio's session rate is separate, confirmed by the studio.
Browse & book a studio →ALL OTHER ROLES — 10% COMMISSION
Bookings for artists, DJs, producers, engineers and every other role carry a 10% commission on the booking value in USD, due on confirmation. Tell us the booking value in USD on the request form and the Hub works out the 10% from it. The performer's or professional's own rate is separate.
Book a role →Featured listings: profiles and studios can pin to the top with a ★ Featured spot — $25 USD standard / $50 USD featured per 30 days. Joining and connecting are always free.
ALSO ON THE HUB — RECORDING STUDIOS
Studios are one feature of the Hub — a directory of rooms worldwide for when your network is ready to record. Browse a few below, or open the full directory by region and city.
RECORDING STUDIOS WORLDWIDE
Studios are one part of WorldBeat Hub — the Hub itself is built for people across the whole music industry to connect. When you're ready to record, choose a region, then a city or island; every card has its own booking link. Studios here record every genre — whatever your sound, there's a room for it. Launch regions — Caribbean, Canada, USA — are filling first; the rest of the world opens region by region. A flat $25 USD finder's fee applies per confirmed studio booking.

EVERY GENRE OF MUSIC
WorldBeat Hub covers all genres — from dancehall, reggae and soca to country, classical and K-pop. Every genre below is open to every role on the Hub. Tap one to browse and connect with the people in it, or join under your genre and get found.
Don't see your sound? Genres are a starting point, not a box — when you join, you can add your own sub-genres and styles in your own words.
JOIN WORLDBEAT HUB — FREE
This is how you join the network. Every role in the music industry has its own tab on WorldBeat Hub — pick yours below. And every genre of music is covered: pick all your genres from the full list when you join, from dancehall and Afrobeats to country, classical, gospel, metal and K-pop — plus your own sub-genres in your own words. Your profile is your connection and exposure page: bio, picture and your music links in one place, so people across the industry can find you, reach you and — when it turns into work — book you from the card. Joining is free; ★ Featured spots ($25 USD standard / $50 USD featured per 30 days) can be arranged by email afterwards. Studios list separately under Recording Studios → List Your Studio.

BOOK
Booking is how a Hub connection turns into paid work. Step 1: Request — send your booking request, including the booking value in USD, and it goes straight to WorldBeat Hub by email. Step 2: Confirm — the other side confirms, aim for confirmation within 24 hours; that's when the Hub fee falls due ($25 USD flat for studios, 10% of the booking value in USD for every other role). Step 3: Complete — the session, show or job happens.
BOOKING REQUESTS
The pipeline every Hub booking moves through: Requested → Confirmed → Completed. Studio bookings carry the $25 USD flat finder's fee once confirmed; bookings for every other role carry 10% commission on the booking value in USD once confirmed. On this public site, requests are sent to WorldBeat Hub by email and tracked by the Hub team — your contact details are never posted publicly.
No booking requests yet.
Find anyone in any role tab — or a studio — and hit Book. Include the booking value in USD so the Hub fee can be worked out; your request is emailed to the Hub and moves through Request → Confirm → Complete from there.
THE LAUNCH PLAN
How WorldBeat Hub grows: people first, connections first, worldwide by stages. The Hub is a network for everyone in music — profiles and discovery lead, and bookings are how connections turn into work. The numbers below are live from WorldBeat Hub right now.
THE MONEY MODEL
FREE TO JOIN
Profiles and studio listings are free — always. An empty hub helps nobody; the directory fills first, money second.
Join free →FEATURED — $25 / $50
Standard featured listing $25 USD, top featured spot $50 USD, per 30 days. Featured profiles and studios pin to the top of their page and the home page ★ band.
Join, then go Featured →HUB FEES — $25 USD + 10%
Flat $25 USD per confirmed studio booking, plus 10% commission on the booking value in USD of every confirmed booking for all other roles — artists, DJs, producers, engineers and everyone else. Never charged on a request that goes nowhere.
Book through the Hub →Trust rules that protect the fees: bookings are made through the Hub's request board, confirmation happens on the board, and the fee is tracked against each confirmed booking until it's marked paid — $25 USD flat for studios, and 10% of the booking value in USD stated on the request for every other role. Members who repeatedly take bookings off-platform to dodge the fee lose their listing.
