Live music, booked properly.
CODA connects people throwing an event to people who play. You say where it is, how many guests are coming and what kind of act you want; the app shows who covers your area, with scores from people who booked them and the price on screen.
What CODA is
Booking live music today runs on a friend's tip, a WhatsApp group and a negotiation by voice note. In the end nobody knows whether the price holds, whether that band has played a similar event, or who answers if things go differently from what was agreed.
CODA organises that deal: search by city and coverage radius, a profile per act with media and reviews, and a booking with fee, service charge, deposit and balance settled before any conversation.
Why CODA
In a score, the coda is the closing passage — the one the music has been heading toward since the first bar, and where the whole piece resolves. The sign that marks it is a circle cut by a cross, and that is what stands in for the O in our wordmark.
What matters here, though, is what the sign does: in an orchestra nobody argues about where the coda is. It is written down, everyone reads it the same way, and that is how thirty people land on the same bar without agreeing anything at the last minute. Booking music should work like that — fee, service charge, deposit and balance on paper beforehand, read the same way by both sides, with nobody improvising what was agreed.
How it works
Answer six questions
City, number of guests, kind of act, indoors or outdoors, venue sound gear and duration. Don't know one? Mark “not sure yet” — it stops filtering instead of ruling options out.
See who covers your area
The search is not an exact city match. An act from São Paulo covering 100 km shows up in your search in Campinas, because that is what decides whether they can play your event.
Compare by the profiles
Each act has a category, home city, radius, media, score and reply time. Booking happens inside the profile, with the price already open — not on the list card.
Close it with a contract
Artist fee, CODA service fee, deposit now and balance later show up on the confirmation, along with the statements you accept before paying.
Why the score can be trusted
Only clients who booked through the platform can review, and the review belongs to the act that was booked — not to a person in isolation. Someone who plays in three different line-ups has three separate histories, because booking a trio is not booking the same sound as a solo. A person's own profile shows only the summary.

Features
Nine categories, icon and text
Band, DJ, solo musician, duo, trio, string quartet, choir, percussion group and orchestra. Category is never signalled by colour alone: colour is reserved for booking status.
Search by coverage radius
Each act sets a home city and how far it travels. You find who can actually get there, including acts from neighbouring cities.
Act profiles, not personal ones
Every bookable act is a project, solo included. Price, bio, media and reviews belong to the line-up that will play.
Three media slots, upload or link
Each slot takes a video of up to 60 seconds or an Instagram/TikTok link — which has no length limit, since it stays hosted on the network.
Acts with several members
The creator is the admin and answers for price and bookings. Others join by invitation and confirm from their own login.
Numbers open before the yes
Fee, service charge, deposit and balance on one screen, with a link to the full contract and item-by-item consent.
The idea behind CODA
The live music market runs on word of mouth, and that leaves both sides in the dark: clients don't know what a fair price is, and musicians lose work for having no shop window outside their own circle.
CODA starts from one rule: anything bookable is a project, with a price, a history and someone responsible. That is what lets you compare a trio with a band without comparing people — and what makes a review mean something.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know what kind of music I want?
No. You pick from the nine act categories, and you can pick more than one. If you don't know the venue's gear or the duration, mark “not sure yet” and the search won't filter on it.
I'm a solo musician. Do I need to create a band?
No — but your solo profile is also a project, with its own price, media and reviews. That is what unifies search and reviews across every line-up.
How does payment work?
The confirmation shows the artist fee, CODA's service fee, the deposit due now and the balance up to two days before the event. The payment screen itself is in development.
Who can leave a review?
Only clients who booked through the platform. The review carries a “Booked via CODA” badge, with the event type and the month.
Can I be part of more than one act?
Yes. One personal profile can belong to several acts, and each act can have several members — each accepting the invitation from their own login.
Is the fee charged to the client or to the musician?
The service fee appears on the confirmation, added to the artist fee. The final commission model is still being defined.
How does CODA know who covers my event?
Every act declares a home city and a service radius in kilometres. The search crosses both with where your event is, instead of listing everyone and letting you find out mid-conversation that nobody travels that far.
Does my personal profile show up in search?
No. What shows up is the act — the bookable line-up, with its category, home city, radius, price, media and reviews. Your personal profile has a name, a city and a history, and stays out of search.
It is the rule that explains almost everything else in the app: the score belongs to the act because it is the act that was booked. Someone who plays in three different line-ups has three histories.
Can I see the work before starting a conversation?
That is the point of the act's profile: it carries the line-up's media and reviews from people who have actually booked it, alongside the fee, the service charge, the deposit and the balance. The conversation starts after you know those things, not in order to find them out.
How many languages is the app in?
Portuguese and English, switched inside the app itself with nothing reloading. This site follows the same rule.
