Buddey is a platform for local talents to find a place for street performances or busking. Talents can download our mobile application Buddey Talent and find a space which are known as the Buddey Buskers Pod. Our vision is to create a place where anyone can access easily and safe to showcase performing arts to the world. 

In the early stages of our journey, Team Buddey recognized the challenges faced by the performing arts artists in Malaysia. As the performing art talents continued to grow, the demand for suitable spaces for artistic expression has became scarce and hard to find. It became evident that even for something as simple as casually finding a space for artists expression of arts, had to invest significant time and energy to stumble upon available spaces.

Driven by a shared passion for the arts, the founders of Buddey embarked on a mission to revolutionize this landscape. Their goal was to empower talents to effortlessly locate performance spaces at their convenience. More importantly, they aspired to create a community where every talents, could access these spaces. In pursuit of this vision, the Buddey Talent mobile application was unveiled in January 2020.

Understanding that digital solutions were the key to serving the talent efficiently, the founders envisioned a platform where spaces could be easily accessible through a mobile application. No longer would artists have to rely on recommendations or endure the frustration of uncertain availability. Buddey's innovative approach ensures that talents can swiftly discover nearby spaces, check schedules, and plan their performances with ease.

Recognizing that many talent depend on these spaces for their livelihoods, some making performing arts their full-time career, Buddey took the initiative to secure dedicated spaces by partnering with Venue Partners. This commitment guarantees a consistent and reliable pool of pperforming arts space for the artists. With Buddey taking care of the logistics, artists can wholeheartedly focus on what they do best—creating music and delivering outstanding performances.

To sustain the availability of these spaces and continue serving the artistic community, Buddey charges the Talent on an hourly basis at the time of booking for use of space. It's important to note that there are no membership fees, advance payments, or deposit fees. This transparent pricing structure allows talents to access all the necessary information about costs. Venue Partners are also privy to the same pricing system, ensuring complete transparency in our operations.

All new Talent accounts start with Grade C and can progress to higher grades based on the points collected.

When a Talent books space through the platform, they accumulate completed hours. These hours are averaged over two months to determine their points. For example, if a Talent completes 20 hours of bookings in January 2024 and 30 hours in February 2024, the system will calculate the average on March 1, 2024, as follows: (20 + 30) ÷ 2 = 25 hours.

40hrs below +1point, 41hrs to 70 hours +3 points, 71 hours above+5points

 

2. Feedback:
Talent receives feedback—either positive or negative—based on their use of the space. Generally, all Talent will have positive feedback unless specific negative feedback is recorded.
