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.

Hire Ye
aka: Kanye West, Yeezy, Yeezus
GRAMMY award-winning Ye is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer. One of the world’s best-selling music artists, with more than 160 million records sold, Ye has won 24 Grammy Awards and 75 nominations, the joint tenth-most of all time, and the joint-most Grammy awards of any rapper along with Jay-Z.
Among his other awards are the Billboard Artist Achievement Award, a joint-record three Brit Awards for Best International Male Solo Artist, and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
Six of Ye‘s albums were included on Rolling Stone’s 2020 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, with the same publication naming him one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time. He holds the joint record (with Bob Dylan) for most albums (4) topping the annual Pazz & Jop critic poll.
TIME named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2005 and 2015. As a fashion designer, he has collaborated with Nike, Louis Vuitton, Gap, and A.P.C. on clothing and footwear and led the Yeezy collaboration with Adidas. He is also the founder and head of the creative content company, Donda.

He is the new sound, style, and culture of today’s hip-hop. Blessed with a creative passion set aside for a chosen few, the producer/rapper has a gift so powerfully instinctive that it is as natural to him as the air he breathes. Ye exudes this gift through his being and becomes it. This is the intensity for which he reveres his emotions for life, the people in his corner, and, of course, his music.
He got his start in the third grade when he discovered his passion, writing and rhyming. He progressed and began making beats when most kids were still playing hide and seek on the playground.
His favorite pastime became an occupational goal as a teenager, when he came across NO I.D., a Chicago beat mastering producer who at the time produced an up-and-coming rapper, who at the time went by the name Common Sense (now Common). This was a chance encounter that would become a pivotal opportunity to shape his future career in music.
– Hire Ye –
NO I.D. encouraged Ye to sample soulful old school hits and revive them with a new school flavor. In an MTV interview, Ye explains, “NO I.D. told me ‘you need to sample off records’ when I found that out, it was all over.”
Ye was signed to ROC-A-FELLA in 2002; the reality of a fathomable vision finally came into view. Several big-name labels had courted him at the time, including Cash Money Millionaires, but the “R-O-C” had the stepping-stone he needed.
Rather than just having his wildest dream come true, Ye saw this as a calculated step to achieve the goals he had implemented for himself. “I am always confident in myself that what I put my all in, I could do it,” he tells an MTV reporter.

This is also the unwavering confidence he fiercely brings into the ring to fight for an MC heavyweight title. This direction was put on the backburner for a while, but he always intended to step into the studio as an artist once his career as a producer took off. His focus is to establish himself as a dynamic man, bringing the rhymes and the rhythm with innovation and originality.
Hire Ye for your special event or occasion.
At this stage in the game, Ye is taking everything in stride. With the support of his inner circle and his self-derived ambition, he is geared up to learn his lessons and perfect his craft for the masses, proving that someone named Ye can make heads bounce from coast to coast.
Hip-hop artists like Drake, Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, and Chance the Rapper have acknowledged being influenced by Ye. Several other artists and music groups of various genres have named Ye as an influence on their work.
In 2022, he performed at Coachella along with others including Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Baby, Phoebe Bridgers, Giveon, Madeon, Disclosure, Doja Cat, Ari Lennox, Flume, Anitta, Brockhampton, Koffee, Karol G, Run the Jewels, and Black Coffee.
His musical career is defined by frequent stylistic shifts and different musical approaches. In the subsequent years since his debut, Ye has both musically and lyrically taken an increasingly experimental approach to crafting progressive hip hop music while maintaining accessible pop sensibilities.
Hits include:
- Gold Digger (featuring Jamie Foxx)
- Good Life
- Stronger
- All Falls Down
- Flashing Lights
- Jesus Walks
- Through The Wire
- Can’t Tell Me Nothing
- Touch The Sky
- Diamonds From Sierra Leone

- Hey Mama
- Champion
- All of The Lights
- I Love It
- Follow God
- Closed on Sunday
- Hurricane
- Off the Grid
- Eazy
- True Love
- Slide
- Preacher Man
His discography includes eleven studio albums, four collaborative studio albums, one compilation album, one demo album, two live albums, one video album, and twelve mixtapes, 140 singles, six promotional singles and charted with 65 other songs.

How is the fee of Ye determined?
✅ Ye fee determination
Ye’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. Ye’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. Ye 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. Ye 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.
