Independent musicians now have a new way to connect directly with their fans and earn real income through personalised live-streamed performances, thanks to the launch of Musician Buddy, now available on iOS.

‍

Created by part-time musician and app developer Grenville Watson, Musician Buddy is a platform designed for the modern, social-media-savvy musician. The app allows performers to book and deliver custom live music gigs—like singing a special song for a birthday or anniversary—via live streaming, directly to fans and followers.

Unlike traditional streaming services or social platforms where musicians often struggle to earn fair revenue, Musician Buddy puts creators first. Musicians get paid instantly through Stripe for each performance, and customers receive a unique, intimate musical experience—a meaningful way to celebrate an occasion while supporting their favourite artist.

“As a part-time musician myself, I know how hard it can be to earn a living from music in the digital age,” said Grenville Watson, founder of Musician Buddy. “I built this app to give musicians a practical way to monetise their talent, while giving fans something special and memorable in return.”

‍

Key features of Musician Buddy include:

• Personalised Gig Booking – Fans can request live performances tailored to specific occasions or genres.
• Live Stream Delivery – Musicians perform live at a set time and date, creating real-time, meaningful fan connections.
• Customisable Profiles – Musicians build a public profile they can share across social platforms to attract bookings.
• Direct Payments – All performances are paid via secure Stripe integration.
• Fan Support – Customers give back to the music community by booking authentic experiences rather than streaming passive content.

Whether it’s a serenade for a wedding proposal, a surprise song for a birthday, or just a personalised performance for a fan halfway across the globe, Musician Buddy is reshaping how artists and audiences connect.

Musician Buddy is available now on the App Store, with an Android version coming soon. To get started, simply search Musician Buddy on the App Store, download the app, build your profile, and start booking or performing live music experiences today.
