Talent intelligence for high-stakes cultural stages.

Because a generic creator database can’t tell a Bhangra DJ from a Bollywood DJ, or check whether a dance troupe is already booked for a wedding the same weekend. Those are the actual questions a Desi wedding needs answered, and they only work with a directory built around this community specifically — not a filter bolted onto a general-purpose tool.

Dallas–Fort Worth, Washington D.C./MD/VA, Austin, Houston, and Charlotte/the Carolinas — discovered weekly via an automated pipeline, with coverage expanding as new regional hashtag sets are added.

Both, in that order. A deterministic keyword pass handles every discovered account first — free, instant, and tuned against real data, including a required South Asian/Desi cultural-relevance check, not just a bookable role. Only the handful it can’t confidently place get a second look from Claude, which either confirms a real category or agrees it’s not an event professional. Nothing gets in on a guess from either step, and the AI never overrides a rejection the keyword pass got right.

From that vendor’s own recent posts — total likes and comments divided by post count and follower count — not a self-reported number. Small local vendors naturally run lower engagement than mega-influencers; we don’t hide them for it.

Yes — the Exclusivity Radar flags active category-blackout windows, so you can see upfront if someone’s already committed to another event in your category before you reach out. This matters most exactly when it matters most: peak wedding season.

Whether you’d be booking direct or through a rep — Direct Manager Desk, Talent Agency Desk, Self-Represented Desk, or Independent/Inquire for Representation — inferred from how their bio lists contact info, so you know who you’re actually talking to before the first message.

Browsing, filtering, and dossiers are free. A credit unlocks a specific vendor’s direct booking desk (email/phone) so you can reach out without going through Instagram DMs — and when a direct line isn’t on file, the desk routes your inquiry to our concierge instead of a dead end.

Yes — every profile links to a Creator Opt-Out / Claim Profile flow in the footer, handled directly by our team.
