FAQ's

What, Where, When, Who, How much...

The suitability of Premier depends on the event format, venue, audience size and the type of performance being requested.

Some artist productions are designed for large concert stages, while selected engagements may be possible in more intimate private or corporate settings.

The organiser should provide the approximate number of guests, venue type and event concept so the appropriate Premier format can be discussed.

For a Premier event inquiry, contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com

A request for Premier can be submitted for a brand launch, product presentation, company anniversary or other commercial event.

Acceptance depends on the artist’s policy, the brand involved, the event concept, location and contractual conditions.

If the performance is connected with a brand, tell BnMusic whether the artist is being requested only to perform or whether additional brand-related participation is expected.

For Premier booking inquiries, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.

An invitation-only event can be proposed for Premier, subject to artist approval.

Private guest lists, luxury venues, family celebrations, executive events and closed corporate functions can have different requirements from public concerts.

When submitting the request, specify that the event is private and provide the expected number of guests, location and proposed performance role.

Contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com for a Premier private-event inquiry.

An outdoor performance can be requested for Premier, but outdoor events require additional planning.

Weather protection, stage covering, electrical safety, temperature, wind conditions and backup arrangements may all affect whether the proposed production is acceptable.

The final requirements depend on the current Premier show configuration and technical specifications.

For an outdoor Premier event, send the venue and production information to info@bnmusic-artists.com

The proposed performance time is an important part of a Premier booking.

An organiser may request an early-evening appearance, headline performance, late-night show or another programme slot, but the timing needs to work with the artist’s travel, preparation and production schedule.

Provide both the preferred performance time and the overall event schedule when submitting the request.

For Premier scheduling inquiries, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.

A multi-set performance can be requested, but it should not be assumed to be part of the standard Premier engagement.

Two shorter sets, separate appearances or a return performance later in the evening may have different production, schedule and commercial implications from one continuous show.

If more than one appearance is required, specify the number of sets and preferred duration of each one.

Send the proposed format to info@bnmusic-artists.com.

Yes, an organiser can request Premier as a surprise performer, subject to availability and approval.

Surprise appearances require additional coordination because guest communication, backstage access, production schedules and artist arrival may need to remain confidential.

The organiser should tell BnMusic at the beginning of the inquiry if the artist’s participation must remain secret.

For a confidential Premier request, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.

Confidentiality can be requested for private, corporate and high-profile events.

If the organiser requires the proposed Premier appearance, venue, client identity or event details to remain confidential, this should be stated at the beginning of the booking process.

Specific confidentiality or non-disclosure requirements may need to be documented separately.

For a confidential Premier inquiry, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.

A sponsored event can be proposed for Premier, but the sponsor relationship should be disclosed before the booking is confirmed.

The artist may need to approve how their name, image and performance are associated with the sponsor or brand.

Do not assume that booking the performance automatically gives the sponsor advertising or endorsement rights.

Provide sponsor and event information to BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com

Promotional use of Premier‘s name, image, photograph or logo should follow the conditions approved for the booking.

A confirmed performance does not automatically permit unrestricted advertising, merchandising or commercial use of the artist’s image.

Event posters, digital campaigns, sponsor materials and press announcements may need to follow approved assets or wording.

For promotional questions connected with a Premier booking, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.

Filming, livestreaming or professionally recording a Premier performance should be requested separately.

A live booking does not automatically include broadcast, streaming, television, commercial filming or unrestricted recording rights.

The organiser should explain where the content will appear, whether the stream is public or private and whether recorded material will remain online after the event.

Include these requirements in the initial request to info@bnmusic-artists.com.

Audience photography and mobile-phone recording policies can vary by artist and event.

A private booking should not automatically be interpreted as permission for unrestricted professional or commercial recording.

If the client wants a specific no-phone policy, unrestricted guest photography or controlled social-media coverage, this should be discussed before the event.

For current Premier event conditions, contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com.

A press interview, media appearance or promotional interview can be requested, but it is separate from the performance itself.

Approval can depend on the publication, interview format, duration, subject matter and the artist’s schedule.

Do not announce an interview with Premier until it has been specifically approved.

Send media requests together with the booking details to info@bnmusic-artists.com.

Attendance at a dinner, cocktail reception, VIP area or client gathering should be requested separately from the performance.

The contracted show does not automatically include additional social attendance before or after the stage appearance.

If this is important to the client, specify the requested duration and purpose when submitting the Premier proposal.

Contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com.

Soundcheck requirements depend on the confirmed Premier performance format and current production needs.

Some performances require a full soundcheck, while others may use a line check or another production procedure.

The event schedule should therefore reserve enough preparation time until the actual requirements have been confirmed.

For production planning for Premier, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.

Venue access time depends on production setup, soundcheck, backstage preparation, security and the confirmed show format.

The organiser should not schedule artist arrival based only on the visible performance time.

Load-in and technical preparation may begin considerably earlier than the show itself.

For the current Premier event schedule and production requirements, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.

Yes, Premier can be proposed for a multi-artist event, subject to approval and technical feasibility.

Events with several performers require detailed planning of performance order, soundchecks, stage changes, shared equipment and artist arrival times.

Do not assume that every artist can use exactly the same technical setup.

Send the complete event programme and proposed artist line-up to info@bnmusic-artists.com.

A late-night Premier performance can be requested, but the exact show time must be included in the proposal.

Late performances can affect travel schedules, venue restrictions, crew working hours and other event logistics.

For New Year’s Eve, afterparties and other events with performances after midnight, specify both the calendar date and the exact requested stage time.

For a late-night Premier inquiry, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.

An unusual venue can be proposed for Premier, but feasibility must be evaluated before the engagement is confirmed.

Yachts, islands, historic buildings, rooftops, remote resorts and other non-standard venues can involve restrictions relating to stage space, access, power, sound, transport, weather and emergency planning.

Provide photographs, venue specifications and access information when possible.

For an unusual-venue Premier request, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.

A change of date should be communicated immediately.

Availability and commercial terms agreed for one date do not automatically transfer to another date, and the artist may already have other commitments.

If the booking has reached the contract stage, any rescheduling conditions will also depend on the agreement.

Contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com as soon as the proposed Premier event date changes.

A preliminary Premier inquiry can be made while a venue is still being selected, but accurate venue information is normally needed before production and logistics can be finalised.

At minimum, provide the city, country, expected audience size and type of venue being considered.

Once the venue is confirmed, its technical and access details can be added to the request.

For an early-stage Premier inquiry, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.

A short performance window can be proposed, but it does not necessarily correspond to a format offered by Premier.

The organiser should clearly state whether the request is for a short appearance, selected songs, a compact show or another specific format.

The available option must be confirmed by the artist’s representatives.

Send the required stage time to info@bnmusic-artists.com when requesting Premier.

Yes. An organiser can propose Premier as the headline act or main entertainment moment of the evening.

If the performance is intended to be the event’s principal attraction, provide the expected show time, audience size, venue setup and what happens immediately before and after the performance.

This information helps with stage timing, production planning and overall event coordination.

For a headline Premier request, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.

About Premier

Biography / Discography

Christopher Edward Martin built his career as DJ Premier through production and turntable work. His partnership with rapper Guru formed the best-known era of Gang Starr, with their first album together, No More Mr. Nice Guy, released in 1989.

Tightly edited samples, forceful drum patterns and scratched vocal fragments give his productions a distinctive musical grammar. His wider credits include work with Nas, the Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z and Christina Aguilera, connecting a recognisable hip-hop approach with different vocal personalities.

Gang Starr’s Step in the Arena (1991), Daily Operation (1992) and Moment of Truth (1998) document the duo’s catalogue. Premier also worked with Royce da 5’9″ as PRhyme, whose albums appeared in 2014 and 2018. Guru died in 2010, so a Premier engagement is separate from the original duo.

For a DJ Premier booking inquiry, BnMusic can explore a DJ-led event format, with the proposed set and production details confirmed individually.
