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.

aka Eve Jeffers, Eve Jihan Jeffers

Trailblazing Rap Icon Who Redefined Women in Hip-Hop

Eve is a Grammy Award–winning rapper, actress, entrepreneur, and television personality who emerged as one of the most influential female artists in hip-hop history. Known for her sharp lyricism, fearless persona, and crossover success, Eve played a pivotal role in expanding the visibility and power of women in rap during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Early Life and Musical Roots

Born Eve Jihan Jeffers on November 10, 1978, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Eve grew up immersed in the city’s vibrant hip-hop culture. She developed an early interest in music, performing in local rap groups as a teenager and honing her lyrical skills through freestyle battles. Her raw delivery and commanding presence quickly set her apart in a male-dominated scene.

Breakthrough With Ruff Ryders

Eve’s career took a major turn when she signed with Ruff Ryders Entertainment, becoming the label’s first female artist. Her debut album, Let There Be Eve…Ruff Ryders’ First Lady (1999), debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making her only the third female rapper at the time to achieve that milestone. The album showcased her aggressive yet charismatic style and established her as a dominant force in hip-hop.

Mainstream Success and Chart-Topping Hits

Eve reached mainstream stardom with her second album, Scorpion (2001), which featured some of her most recognizable songs. Tracks like “Who’s That Girl?”, “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” featuring Gwen Stefani, and “Gangsta Lovin’” blended hip-hop with pop and R&B influences, helping her cross into global markets. “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” earned Eve a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, cementing her commercial and critical success.

Evolution as an Artist

Her third album, Eve-Olution (2002), marked a stylistic shift, presenting a more polished and versatile sound. Eve explored themes of independence, self-reflection, and empowerment while maintaining her lyrical edge. Over time, she became known not only for her music but also for her ability to adapt and evolve within a changing industry.

Acting Career and Media Presence

Beyond music, Eve built a successful acting career, appearing in films such as Barbershop, Barbershop 2: Back in Business, and XXX. She also starred in her own television sitcom, Eve, which ran for three seasons and expanded her influence in mainstream entertainment. Her later role as a co-host on The Talk introduced her to a new generation of fans.

Entrepreneurship and Personal Growth

Eve has also made her mark as an entrepreneur and fashion influencer. She launched her own clothing line and became known for her distinctive style and confident image. Over the years, she has spoken openly about personal growth, motherhood, and balance, further strengthening her connection with audiences worldwide.

Legacy and Influence in Hip-Hop

Eve’s impact on hip-hop is undeniable. As one of the few female rappers to dominate both underground and mainstream spaces, she helped pave the way for future generations of women in the genre. Her blend of toughness, authenticity, and versatility continues to influence artists across hip-hop, pop, and R&B.

Eve’s Enduring Relevance

Decades into her career, Eve remains a respected and influential figure in music and entertainment. Her legacy is defined by groundbreaking achievements, cultural impact, and the ability to reinvent herself while staying true to her roots. As a pioneer and role model, Eve’s place in hip-hop history is firmly secured.

Hits include:

What Ya Want (featuring Nokio)
Love Is Blind (featuring Faith Evans)
Gotta Man
Got It All (with Jadakiss)
Who’s That Girl?
Let Me Blow Ya Mind (featuring Gwen Stefani)
Gangsta Lovin’ (featuring Alicia Keys)
Satisfaction

Her discography includes four studio albums, 37 singles (including 23 as a featured artist), 5 promotional singles and 30 music videos.

How is the fee of Eve determined?

✅ Eve fee determination

Eve’s manager determines the artist’s concert fee (also known as a guarantee) by evaluating a combination of business, market, and logistical factors.

Here’s a breakdown of key elements considered:

1. Eve’s Popularity and Demand

Ticket Sales History: How many tickets they’ve sold recently in the same market or similar ones.
Streaming & Radio Metrics: Spotify/Apple Music numbers, YouTube views, Shazam stats, radio spins.
Social Media Following & Engagement: Followers, reach, and how active and loyal the fan base is.

2. Market Strength

City or Region: Artists can command higher fees in cities where they are more popular.
Venue Size: Bigger venues mean more ticket sales and higher potential revenue.
Local Competition: Is the artist competing with other events nearby on the same date?

3. Eve Touring Expenses

Band & Crew Payroll: Salaries, per diems, union rates.
Production Costs: Lights, sound, transportation, backline, hotel, security, etc.
Travel: Flights, buses, fuel, lodging. Fees are often higher for more distant or logistically complex locations.

4. Type of Event

Hard Ticket Show: The artist is the main draw; ticket sales drive revenue. The fee is based on expected gross revenue minus expenses.
Festival or Fair: Often pay higher flat fees as the event assumes ticket risk.
Corporate or Private Event: Typically, higher pricing due to exclusivity and often minimal promotional benefit.

5. Promoter Offer and Negotiation

The manager evaluates received offers and may negotiate elements to modify the fee or reduce expenses.
Promoters/Private Buyers typically present a formal offer sheet that includes:
Guarantee (flat fee): Minimum the artist gets paid.
Backend or Bonus: Extra earnings based on ticket sales after breakeven. (Typically, this is not applicable to private/corporate events.)
Expenses: Travel, accommodations, hospitality, etc.

6. Comparing Fees

Managers often compare fees of similar-level artists to stay competitive in pricing.

7. Eve Routing Considerations

If the date fits smoothly into a larger tour routing, they might accept a lower fee.
If it’s a one-off or out-of-the-way show, the fee might be higher to justify the extra time and effort.
