Joshua Milo

Musician, Performer - Germany

I’ve tried Artunio before the app was even launched, and it has helped me and my band get gigs at festivals we wouldn’t have performed otherwise.

If you’re a solo musician, in a band, or even part of an orchestra, whether you’re starting out or already established, you should definitely check it out.
