WHO is Cliff - BEHIND THE MUSIC
Behind The Music
Every great performance starts with a story, and ours begins in Cincinnati.
MoneyGigs was founded by Clifford Adams II, a musician and creative deeply connected to the heartbeat of the Cincinnati music scene. After years of performances as a solo artist, a member of various groups, and the leader of his own nominated salsa band, he noticed talented artists struggling to find fair gigging opportunities. Determined to change the tune, he created MoneyGigs with a mission: to enhance performance opportunities for musicians who value their time, talent, and hustle. Whether it’s a last-minute set, a studio session, or a collaboration that sparks something bigger, this music app exists to foster healthier and more profitable relationships between musicians and the opportunities they find.
We believe every artist deserves a stage.
Every beat, every lyric, every gig matters.
Here, you’re not just scrolling listings; you’re stepping into a vibrant musician community that gets it.
A place where passion meets pay and where music careers are built one gig at a time.
Your sound has value. Your time has worth. And your next opportunity might just be one click away.
Welcome to The Money Gigs, where the hustle pays off.
About
The Voice of the Gigging Musician
MoneyGigs started as an innovative mobile app designed to assist gigging musicians in identifying the best gigging opportunities for their performances. This platform enables musicians to manage their schedules effectively and optimize their income. It marks the beginning of a vibrant musician community that fosters equal partnerships between artists and the venues hosting them. Although the initial concept was developed by Cliff, he opted not to overload the app with excessive features, choosing instead to collaborate with gigging musicians to ensure it truly meets their needs.
Podcast
In the process of gathering feedback to ensure the music app delivered value and solved the problem, Founder Cliff Adams realized he could convert those interviews into a podcast. This initiative not only created gigging opportunities for musicians but also celebrated those gigging musicians, featuring performance footage and enhancing the sense of community within the musician community.
Looking to the Future
It starts and ends with YOU. The initial edition of the music app is standalone, and the data is stored on your device. The only internet access is due to the map functionality, which helps you discover gigging opportunities. A network edition will be released soon, offering features such as VENUE RATINGS AND COMMENTS made by other members of the musician community.
