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.

The Visionary Architect of Chicago House Music

Green Velvet is a pioneering force in electronic music, celebrated for his unmistakable voice, socially charged lyrics, and boundary-pushing productions. As a producer, DJ, and label head, Green Velvet has played a critical role in shaping modern house and techno, bridging underground credibility with global dancefloor appeal.

Early Life and Musical Foundations

Born Curtis Alan Jones in Chicago, Illinois, Green Velvet emerged from the city that gave birth to house music. Growing up surrounded by Chicago’s rich club culture and experimental sound, he developed an early passion for electronic music. Before adopting the Green Velvet persona, Jones honed his skills as a producer and DJ, absorbing influences from acid house, techno, and hip-hop.

The Birth of Green Velvet

In the early 1990s, Curtis Jones introduced the Green Velvet alias as a creative outlet for his darker, more provocative ideas. The name quickly became synonymous with bold concepts, satirical storytelling, and raw club energy. His music stood out for blending minimalist grooves with spoken-word vocals that tackled themes of religion, politics, addiction, and nightlife culture.

Breakthrough Tracks and Defining Sound

Green Velvet gained international attention with groundbreaking tracks that became staples of the underground scene. Songs like “Preacher Man,” “La La Land,” and “Flash” showcased his ability to combine hypnotic beats with unforgettable vocal hooks. His sound is often described as a fusion of Chicago house, acid, and techno, marked by gritty basslines, stripped-down arrangements, and his instantly recognizable voice.

Relief Records and Industry Influence

In 1994, Green Velvet founded Relief Records, a label that became a cornerstone of the global house and techno movement. Relief Records provided a platform for innovative artists and cutting-edge sounds, helping to launch and support careers while maintaining a strong underground ethos. Through the label, Green Velvet cemented his reputation not only as an artist but also as a tastemaker and mentor.

Global DJ Career and Festival Presence

As a DJ, Green Velvet is known for high-energy, unpredictable sets that blend classic house with modern techno. He has performed at some of the world’s most prestigious clubs and festivals, captivating audiences with his charisma and deep connection to dancefloor culture. His ability to adapt while staying true to his roots has kept him relevant across multiple generations of clubbers.

Collaborations and Evolution

Throughout his career, Green Velvet has collaborated with a wide range of influential artists and producers, further expanding his sonic reach. Whether working on underground club tracks or crossover hits, he consistently reinvents his sound while maintaining his core identity. His collaborations highlight his openness to new ideas and his lasting influence on contemporary electronic music.

Legacy and Cultural Impact

Green Velvet’s impact on electronic music extends far beyond individual tracks. He is widely regarded as one of the architects of modern house and techno, particularly in preserving the spirit of Chicago house while pushing it forward. His fearless creativity, sharp social commentary, and dedication to the underground have earned him respect as both a pioneer and a living legend.

Green Velvet Today

Decades into his career, Green Velvet remains an active and influential presence in the global dance music scene.

How is the fee of Green Velvet determined?

✅ Green Velvet fee determination

Green Velvet’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. Green Velvet’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. Green Velvet 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. Green Velvet 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.
