BRAMA: a booking agency for artists, promoters and venues

BRAMA represents musicians and arranges their concerts, festival appearances and tours. The word "brama" means "gate" in Ukrainian, and the agency sees its job as opening a gate between an artist and a stage. The letter M in the logo is drawn as a gate, the same in Latin and in Cyrillic. The agency works in Europe and beyond.
The roster consists of live projects from the rock, jazz, ethnic and electronic scenes. Each project has its own page with music, video, line-up, performance format, upcoming dates and a press kit. A promoter opens the page and sees what the artist brings to the stage before writing a single message. The site is available in English, Ukrainian and Russian.
Artists work with BRAMA without exclusivity and under one-off agreements. Dates, formats and regions are agreed with the artist. Fees are discussed individually and are not published. Every project gets a personal dashboard with dates, documents and payment records, and a separate article describes it.
Promoters, festivals and clubs get one contact for the whole route from enquiry to the show. The organiser names the artist, the date, the city and the venue, and a booking manager takes the conversation from there. The page for organisers lists the order of work and each side's obligations. It has no prices, because the fee for every show is agreed separately.
Two founders stand behind the agency. Alexander Gordeev has played harmonica on stage since 1989, directed the band Korol i Shut and organised its US tour. Sviatoslav Tvardovsky has worked as a producer and DJ under the name Tvardovsky since 2010, runs labels and music publishing, and builds the agency's data systems and AI assistant.
Booking is the core service. Release distribution is connected under a separate agreement. Music publishing is in development, and applications for it are not open yet.
