Fiverr hosting first-ever music event

Two-day content-filled virtual event includes T-Pain, Cheat Codes and TikTok artist JVKE

Fiverr has announced its first music event, Now Playing on March 30th and 31st. The free virtual event offers attendees the opportunity to hear from a mixture of artists and aspiring musicians as they share their music journeys, industry advice, and give an inside look at their creative process.

The event will also offer firsthand knowledge about the music industry – getting discovered, building an image, the latest cutting edge tools, and more. Confirmed speakers include 6x Grammy award winner T-Pain, electronic music DJ trio Cheat Codes, and viral TikTok artist JVKE. The event will also feature executive speakers from YouTube Music, Artlist, Musiio, Genius, and Fiverr’s global community of freelance talent.

“Fiverr has grown to be a platform that supports music-industry professionals and businesses needing access to incredible music talent,” states Gali Arnon, Chief Marketing Officer at Fiverr. “While this music event is a company-first for us, we’re giving our incredible community of vocalists, songwriters, producers, advertisers and brands the opportunity to share their expertise and passion with the world.”

While the event is free to register, Fiverr is also partnering with the Ukrainian Red Cross to bring awareness to the situation there and encourage attendees to give charitable donations during the Now Playing event to help support Ukrainian relief efforts.

“It would be dismissive of us to ignore the larger problems going on in the world and we have a robust community of musicians in Ukraine,” adds Brent Messenger, Vice President of Public Policy and Community Engagement. “Fiverr’s purpose is to help anyone build their business, brand or dreams, and we want to ensure that we continue to support them and their ability to pursue their passions. This is why we’re encouraging attendees to support the Ukrainian people during this conflict.”

T-Pain has changed the course of pop, hip hop, and R&B. He was the first-ever winner of Fox’s The Masked Singer and runs his own label, Nappy Boy Entertainment and gaming company, Nappy Boy Gaming. T-Pain is also a wildly popular Twitch streamer with an audience of over 725K, a film star, and has earned more than one billion streams.

Simultaneously trafficking in electronic, pop, hip hop, and alternative at the same high speed, the Los Angeles trio Cheat Codes remains an inescapable force throughout popular culture. Their total stream tally eclipses a staggering six billion plays with a diverse discography, including the Platinum radio smash “No Promises” [feat. Demi Lovato], the Gold-certified “Feels Great” [feat. Fetty Wap & CVBZ], and gold-selling breakout “SEX” with Kriss Kross Amsterdam.
