Booked a $6.5k corporate gig in Colorado Springs, then client added me for the next night also at $3.5k… All from a single view of an IG ad.

Mikhail Romanov is a Brooklyn pianist who plays private events, weddings and corporate parties across New York. Like most working musicians, he priced himself by what felt safe to say out loud. Here is what changed once he stopped.
Where it starts. The bar-gig rate most pianists accept without a second thought.
Solo private events. Now a regular booking, through TheBash, The Knot, Meta ads and returning clients.
January 2026. A singer and piano duo. $3.9K take-home for one day, before tips.
May 2026. His highest-paying gig ever, closing out an $18K month.
One of my biggest goals when I joined was to overcome my fear of quoting higher rates. Today, I can confidently say I've achieved that.
A working session built around his real bookings, so you leave with a number you're ready to say.
Why the fear of quoting high costs you more than a lost lead, and how clients who pay more end up valuing you more.
What to say when a client asks "how much?", and how to hold your rate when they mention their budget.
How a solo inquiry becomes a $4K trio or a $5K quartet, and the add-ons couples say yes to.
His mix of TheBash, The Knot, GigSalad, Meta ads and repeat clients, and what each one is worth to him.
Each one taught by a musician or planner already working at the top of the private event market.

Booked a $6.5k corporate gig in Colorado Springs, then client added me for the next night also at $3.5k… All from a single view of an IG ad.

I made 86% of last year's entire gig revenue in one month.

Up to $12k+ for October with the vast majority coming from insta ads.

$14K for this month cash collected!! Best month for me to date! Again just for reference I was at just shy of 4k/mo in August.
September was my highest booking month ever, I closed $25.5k NET in 17 future gigs, including a $15k 3-day corporate event at the Arizona Biltmore.
I just closed the month with £10k worth of leads closed directly from Meta ads with £600 ad spend. Average booking is £1.4k.
