Web, App, & Software Team
Our talented and dedicated software team members have been with Afton since the beginning. They work tirelessly to keep our platforms running and to implement the new features our artists need in order to thrive. Our dev team is the reason Afton has been able to scale up to a user base of over 200,000 musicians. They’ve helped build the software and infrastructure needed to allow our Booking Reps enough time to give 1-on-1 help and guidance to our artists.
Booking Reps & Assistants
Our Booking Reps and Booking Assistants are the core of our artist support team. They not only handle questions and help our artists with marketing and promotion guidance, but they also reply to each and every artist that emails us throughout the year for booking and non-booking related questions. They help us book up to 90+ concerts each and every month.
