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.

Born Ryan Gary Raddon on February 25, 1971, Kaskade has built a career spanning more than two decades, earning critical acclaim, commercial success, and a loyal global fanbase.
Early Life and Musical Beginnings
Kaskade was born in Chicago, Illinois, a city deeply rooted in house music culture. He later moved to Utah, where he became immersed in electronic music through DJing and production. His early exposure to Chicago house sounds and underground club culture played a crucial role in shaping his melodic and emotionally driven approach to dance music.
Before achieving mainstream recognition, Kaskade worked behind the scenes in the music industry, developing his skills as a producer and DJ while refining his signature sound.
