There’s a mobile app in town that’s caught my attention. It’s called Special Guest App which is quite appropriate for anyone who loves to throw a good event or party!
When I was growing up during birthdays, I always asked my mom for them to throw me a party. I love celebrations and there were times when I absolutely didn’t know where to find special guests or performers. In the past, people relied on word-of-mouth. Today, we can hire entertainment in just a few taps.
The Special Guest App I speak about have been backed by influential entertainers like Kevin Hart, Marlon Wayans, and Wilder Valderrama among others. Founded by talented artist “New Girl” star Damon Wayans, Jr. and his co-founder Kris Jones, it was inspired by Damon’s time attending open mics where he would discover amazing entertainers that were not famous but incredibly talented.
My travels all over the world have exposed me greatly to the hospitality industry and entertainers in hotels always put me on a good mood. Imagine if you have a pool of entertainers such as singers, comedians, and DJ’s in one platform that you could simply hire easily via mobile or tablet. With just a few taps, Wilder Valderrama could be performing in your pool party that weekend!
As an entrepreneur at the University of Cambridge, I love discovering new apps and ventures that give value and opportunities in both directions and the Special Guest App certainly does that! Kris Jones’ background, aside from building apps, is raising investment capital and growing ventures. Kris is an entrepreneur who co-founded a mobile app called
French Girls” after discovering a varied group of digital artists globally that don’t get paid to do drawing, sketching and other creative digital pictures creating art. This proved to be quite the complement and perfect fit for Damon Wayans, Jr. as seen through their feature at Apple’s first original TV program, “Planet of the Apps” of which they successfully raise $15 Million!
What’s amazing about this app is that Special Guest App do not take any part of their entertainer’s fee. Instead, they are paid by the client booking the talent giving an updated method in hiring and handling talent in this new millennium.
If you’re curious, download the app. There you’ll see that it’s just like social media whereby you can choose a pool of talent with profiles, bio, and videos so you can take a look and easily swipe which entertainer you would like to book on your next event. This isn’t just for the street performer, but this is also a place for some of the very best talent in the world to reach a global audience and share their talent to the world!
If you’re a talent, Special Guest App walks you through the profile setup and verify your identity to certify authenticity. There’s a fraud-prevention technology built-in and clients are able to rate talent and vice versa as well.
It’s been a great platform showcasing the talents and contestants from America’s Got Talent, The Voice, and American Idol to name a few! You can book William Hung today, one of the most famed non-winners from American Idol as he apparently has joined the app!
It’s the perfect app for the wedding season, as well as the festive holiday season happening right now! I wish this app was created sooner. It’s an incredible and most organized way of putting all fantastic entertainers together in one place so anyone can book with ease and convenience! Special Guest App your way through the holidays, today!
