Cathy Guetta launches “Uber for DJs” App
Undisputed party icon and female pioneer within the clubbing and music scenes Cathy Guetta is widely recognized for her creation of the F*** Me I’m Famous brand launching her then husband David Guetta as an international DJ and producer.
Now, Cathy is making strides as a Woman In Tech applying her considerable expertise to her latest creation: Djaayz, an innovative DJ booking app in collaboration with French tech-entrepreneur Raphael Aflalo.
The app is available in the UK market now on Apple Store and Google Play.
We never expected F*** Me I’m Famous to lead to international stardom! But these days it’s harder than ever for emerging talent to get noticed. Now that I have the platform, I want to give back to both the Clubowners and the DJs by connecting them directly through Djaayz, facilitating beautiful new relationships and helping to launch careers.’ says co-creator Cathy Guetta.
Boasting over 3,500 DJ profiles the app has already racked up thousands of bookings following its successful soft-launch in France at the end of last year. Now, Djaayz is set to conquer the UK’s vibrant nightlife scene as the premier DJ booking app for not only nightclubs, but also bars, restaurants, hotels, pop-up stores, events and even private homes….
“Hosting legendary events and parties is my superpower, but most of all I love a good house party! With Djaayz you can become a pro-host and houseparty hero, with thousands of amazing DJs at your fingertips. Some of them can even bring their own decks and set-up!” says Cathy.
Described as ‘Uber for DJs’ by the app’s co-owner Raphael Aflalo, Djaayz streamlines the process of booking and vetting DJs and also serves as an advantageous tool for up-and-coming new talent to make valuable connections and gain visibility. A rigorous approval process overseen by a group of 20 experienced music and tech masters guarantees the quality and professionalism of every DJ, and most importantly minimizes any risk factor and worry for the booker.
With a sliding scale of bookings starting at £100 to £5000 for an hour and a half’s set, Djaayz caters for venues and individuals operating on every budget, while simultaneously offering something for every taste with disk jockeys spinning a full variety of musical styles and niches ranging from everything from EDM to Tech House, Pop to Punk, Latino to Disco.
The fast and intuitive app takes the user through a set of questions and parameters to identify the most suitable DJs available for their event in mind, and then immediately supplies the user with an array of swipeable talent to choose from. Correspondingly, DJs are able to keep their profiles punchy and up-to-date with new photos, playlists, ratings and comments from past clients.
Djaayz is free of charge and available now on the UK Apple App store and Google Play
