Although less frequently requested, the following might be considered, also.
- A non-performance personal appearance.
An example would be to hire a celebrity to attend a private or corporate party as simply a (non-performing) guest to mingle with other guests, or to hire the celebrity to do a meet-and-greet at your party.
- A virtual performance.
A virtual performance is a live or recorded show—such as a concert, play, dance, comedy act, or other artistic presentation—that is broadcast or streamed online instead of being performed in front of a physical audience. Artists perform live from a studio, venue, or even their homes and stream the show on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, or Instagram Live. Essentially, a virtual performance brings entertainment to audiences through the internet rather than in-person venues.

- In 1997, at just 15 years old, he won the DMC World DJ Championship, becoming the youngest and the first Canadian to win the title.
- He continued his streak by winning the ITF Western Hemisphere Scratching Championship (1999), Vestax World DJ Extravaganza (1999), ITF World Championship (2000), and DMC Team Championship (2000) alongside DJ Craze.
- He became the first DJ to win all three major DJ competitions (DMC, ITF, and Vestax), earning five world championship titles by the age of 18.
