Hire Pepper:
Pepper is a three-piece reggae rock band that formed in 1996. The group was influenced by the Hawaiian artist Three Plus and popular mainland groups, like Sublime.
In 1999, after gathering a small local following on the Big Island, Pepper gained the interest of an independent, L.A.-based record company, Volcom Entertainment. Volcom produced and distributed the band’s debut release, Give’n It, which combined dancehall, reggae, hip-hop, and pop genres, and the band made it on the 2001 Vans Warped Tour.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE PEPPER?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire PEPPER for an event?)
(i.e., what is PEPPER booking fee to perform at an event?)
Official booking fees for PEPPER, or any other celebrity, are determined based on a number of factors and may change at any time without prior notice.
Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist’s calendar, whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the artist’s concerts, the current demand for the artist’s music, market activity, etc.
As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist’s price to increase as the artist becomes more popular or decrease when the artist becomes less popular.
Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at any time. Generally, the artist’s manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
