New to the entertainment world?

If you don't want gigs, don't watch this video.

Let us help you.

Are you new to the entertainment industry? I'm Molly Callinan, the lead singer of CATFIGHT, and I'm here to tell you what I did to make it as a full-time, professional musician.


Here's what you need to succeed:

  • Good promo
    • Band bios and photos and reviews, oh my! Have an electronic press kit available for clients to view, and keep it up to date.
    • If your last update was more than 5 years ago... it might be time to update your photos, videos, reviews, band bio, and social media.
  • Social media
    • Make these pages... and stay active!
    • Stay connected to create and maintain a relationship
  • Network, network, network
    • How are other musicians making it?
    • Who you know is more important than what you know.
  • Join an agency!
    • Increase your band's visibility
    • Double your chances of getting booked

Hoping and praying that someone will find your website or Facebook and call to book you is a good method if you want to stay where you are. But if you want to move forward with your career, you need to join Chicago Entertainment Agency.

For a small investment of a quarter a day, you'll have access to our extensive list of clients and events. Our sister company, StarEvents, uses Chicago Entertainment Agency to book the talent for their summer festivals. That's over $1,000,000 we invest right back into our members every year. Don’t you want a part of that? Join Chicago Entertainment Agency today.

I guarantee you'll love us. For a limited time only, you have access to the same pricing we used when we launched in 2004. A lower price for better results than any other agency? Yes please! You're one step closer to getting more gigs.


There is not one right way to have successful music career. But Chicago Entertainment Agency has been in this business for over 15 years, and we've seen what works...and what doesn't.

Many artists and bands don't have connections to the industry and Chicago venues. Molly does. Chicago Entertainment Agency does. And we'll connect you to them for a lower investment than your Postmates dinner delivery.

If you watched the video above, you'll remember tip #4: Join an agency! If you didn’t watch the video, let me summarize for you: Joining an agency will increase your band’s visibility and double your chances of getting booked. There are more benefits to joining an agency other than getting more gigs, though. Clients are more likely to see your information if you’re on an agency website because they prefer to view an entire database of entertainers. They are less likely to stumble across your website or Facebook page. Also, the more websites and agencies you join, the higher your SEO (search engine optimization) becomes. This means that your page will rank higher on Google for even more people to see you.


Chicago Entertainment Agency, the top talent buying company in Chicago, has built a reputation on transparency and results since 2004. Before we go further, let me make something clear: we are not a standard agency. We don't represent you like other agencies. Other agencies only try to sell their top talent in order to make the most commission. We have compiled a database for clients to choose the perfect entertainer for their event. With that understood, here's what you're getting as a member of Chicago Entertainment Agency:

Access to our extensive network of clients and events, including StarEvents' summer festivals.

  • Chicago Entertainment Agency books hundreds of events every year. Get access to the most local gigs.
  • Our sister company, StarEvents, uses Chicago Entertainment Agency to book the entertainment for 20+ summer festivals. That's over $1,000,000 that we put right back into our members' pockets. Don't you want a part of that? How many other agencies can say that? (Hint: it's none.)

The most money for your performance.

  • We will never take money out of your fee for commission. Get more money for your performance for a lower investment than any other agency.

Access to our blog with helpful articles to maximize your time at CEA.


That's a lot of ways to enhance your experience on our website! No other agency can share them with you because no one else is doing what we're doing.

But it gets better because we're giving you a limited time offer... become a member for the same membership price we used in 2004. Just a quarter a day will get you access to Chicago's best talent buying agency. We're doing this because we're so confident that you'll love us. Here's what we want you to do next:
