About

Founded by Cato Zane, a seasoned audio engineer with over 20 years of experience in the industry, and AJ Zane, a leading tech professional in the music industry, Gig Guardian is a pioneering platform dedicated to revolutionizing the way musicians are treated in venues.

Our Story

As industry insiders with a deep love for music, Cato and AJ Zane recognized a pressing need for a platform that advocates for musicians’ rights and promotes fair treatment in music venues. Despite not being performers ourselves, we understand the challenges faced by artists and are committed to amplifying their voices.

Our Expertise

Cato Zane’s two decades of audio engineering experience and AJ Zane’s background in big data analysis and the startup world position us as industry leaders in our respective fields. While we are not performers ourselves, we bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to Gig Guardian, empowering us to provide valuable insights to musicians and venue owners alike.

Our Mission

At Gig Guardian, our mission is simple: to advocate for musicians’ rights and promote venues that prioritize fair treatment and professionalism. Since we are not affiliated with any venues, and we are not performing musicians, we are uniquely positioned to create unbiased reviews. We review venues with input from artists, ensuring that our evaluations are reflective of the experiences of performers.
