We make sure all busking activities are within legal framework, all planned events are pre-booked. In case you need a permit, we will guide you to obtain one.

Are you too shy to perform for the pedestrians? Bring your bestie or we may be able to find you a busking buddy! Let us make some music together!

Accompaniment and practice tool

Even if you are playing Twinkle twinkle little star, let's make it beautiful, let us know your play list, we will prepare accompaniment and even playalong tools for you to practice.

Founder's story

My name is Allen, a primary school student based in Sydney. I got my first violin when I was 7, I enjoyed playing it and want to share my music to as many people as possible. I still remember the first time I performed on the street, it was not easy, yet the applause from the pedestrians drives me to perform again and again, and here I am, to help you and more kids perform for the general public, and to help more kids getting their first instrument! Join me, together we can help more kids start their music journey!
