Our Mission
ToBusk is dedicated to empowering street performers and buskers around the world by providing free, professional-grade tools and resources. We believe that street performance is a vital part of urban culture, bringing joy, entertainment, and community to public spaces.
Our platform was created by buskers, for buskers. We understand the unique challenges of street performance - from navigating complex regulations to optimizing earnings in an increasingly cashless society. That's why we've developed comprehensive tools that address real-world busking challenges.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your busking journey, ToBusk provides the data-driven insights you need to succeed. Our calculators and analyzers are based on real data from thousands of street performers worldwide, ensuring accurate and actionable results.
Why We Built ToBusk
The Challenge
Street performers face unique challenges that traditional musicians and artists don't encounter. Finding the right location, understanding local regulations, optimizing performance length, and maximizing tips all require specialized knowledge that's often hard to find.
Many talented performers struggle unnecessarily because they lack access to practical information and tools. They make costly mistakes, miss opportunities, and sometimes give up on busking entirely due to preventable issues.
Our Solution
ToBusk bridges this information gap with professional tools that make busking more profitable and sustainable. Our calculators eliminate guesswork, our analyzers provide objective assessments, and our guides share proven strategies from successful performers.
By democratizing access to busking knowledge and tools, we're helping preserve and grow the street performance tradition for future generations. Every tool we create is designed to solve a real problem faced by working buskers.
