I Built an App for Freelance Musicians
Tracking gig income shouldn't be harder than playing the gig. DTLA is a free iOS app that logs your payments, shows your earnings, and helps you understand what you're worth.
The Problem
93% of musicians are unsure what to charge
After a decade of freelancing — Juilliard recitals to Kendrick Lamar sessions — I realized something: nobody teaches musicians how to track their money. We learn scales, sight-reading, and stage presence. We don't learn what to invoice.
So I built the thing I wished existed.
