Music with a Mission:

Harmonizing Hope for Humanity

Our Vision

We’ve moved past the standard "gig" circuit to curate high-impact musical experiences. Powered by Beyond Me Entertainment, Watson Tunez Impact Band is powered by guaranteed B2B booking contracts and corporate CSR sponsorships.

This institutional funding ensures our live crew is always paid top-tier rates without relying on unpredictable ticket sales. We run a strictly lean stage setup and are currently seeking elite Performance DJs (scratching/stem triggers), precision Drummers (click/track sync), and fast-patching Sound Engineers. Step onto the stage with us to amplify hope and fund $5,000 grassroots service grants.

Blending Hip-Hop, R&B, Soul, and Pop into a signature, high-energy sound, our performances do more than entertain—they fuel the Beyond Me Initiative, our non-profit arm dedicated to local grant-making and alleviating suffering in every city we visit.

Led by founder and lead artist Watson Tunez, our band champions a message of service, resilience, and living beyond oneself. We are seeking elite session musicians, vocalists, DJs, and live sound creatives who can execute high-end productions with precision, passion, and soul. Step onto the stage with us to amplify hope, deliver measurable impact, and redefine live entertainment.

How We Cast Our Shows:

Built on a Two-Tier Roster Model

Every show we produce is anchored by our non-negotiable core live crew. As touring budgets and venue capacities scale, we deploy our extended creative team.

Tier 1: Core Touring Unit (High Frequency)

Roles: Live Drummer (click/stem sync), Performance DJ (live scratching/crowd hype), Sound Technician (FOH/AV systems).

Deployment: Core fulfillment for all 45–90 minute student rallies, youth nights, school assemblies, and weekend retreats.

Cadence: Regular rotation across our spring, summer, and fall tour dates.

Rate: $250 – $500 per event.

Tier 2: Extended Creative & Visual Crew (Event-Specific & Production-Based)

Roles: Backing Vocalists, Commercial/Hip-Hop Dancers, Live Event Videographers, and Concert Photographers.

Deployment: Contracted on a needs-based schedule for major productions, including our flagship Service Fest, outdoor festival stages, regional youth conferences, high-budget multi-camera shoots, and broadcast television appearances.

Cadence: Advanced-notice calls. Getting vetted and accepted onto the roster now ensures you are in our internal directory to receive dates, call sheets, and rates first as production tiers expand.

Rate: Tiered per-gig contractor rates ($250 – $500+ depending on production scope and rehearsal requirements).

Core Values & Culture

"The 'Impact Touring Experience' isn't a gig—it’s a legacy. Leave behind more than just notes; leave behind a community that is better because you played."

What We Stand For

To be part of the Impact Band, you must align with our DNA:

Music. community. impact

  • Excellence Over Ego: – Even though we are not a fixed band, music group, or music collective, we still show up prepared, even without a rehearsal. We do not have time for arrogant attitudes or micro-management. You are an independent contractor who knows your gear, respects the call sheet, takes time to learn your material on your own, and executes the show flawlessly.

  • Radical Flexibility: – Our schedule is driven by our clients. We stay "on-call" and ready to move when the impact calls.

  • Professionalism as Standard:– We are work-for-hire contractors. Punctuality, communication, and preparation are non-negotiable.

  • Community First: – We use our platform to provide grants and service opportunities to the audiences we reach.

How the IMPACT BAND Works:

We respect your career as a professional musician. Our model is designed for the modern session player and vocalist:

  • Lead-Driven Scheduling: – We pitch to major organizations. When they book, we call our roster.

  • Tiered Calls: – We maintain 1st, 2nd, and 3rd call lists based on availability and performance.

  • Jam & Studio Sessions: - We hold open-ended creative sessions to build chemistry and record new tracks for Watson Tunez.

  • The Impact Journey:- 80% of our work is touring. We charge premium rates because we deliver premium impact.

The 4-Step Process to Join

Your Path to the Stage

MOST MUSICIANS PLAY FOR AN AUDIENCE; WITH THE IMPACT BAND, WE PLAY FOR A MOVEMENT. YOUR TALENT IS THE BRIDGE BETWEEN A MESSAGE AND A CHANGED LIFE

  • Step 1: The Video Submission. Fill out the application below with a link to a 30–60 second video demonstrating your live rhythm/ stage presence, scratch mixing, or FOH audio workflow.

  • Step 2: The 15-Minute Intro. If your video proves you have the skills, we will schedule a strict 15-minute discovery call with Watson George (aka Watson Tunez) to assess vibe and culture fit.

  • Step 3: The Chemistry Check. Selected candidates are invited to an in-person audition session—either joining a studio rehearsal in Indianapolis or shadowing an upcoming live tour date for a backstage soundcheck jam—to lock in stage chemistry, timing, and mutual vibe. (Please note: This is an unpaid audition step designed to confirm mutual fit before paid tour contracts in Step 4.)

  • Step 4: The Master Roster. Once cleared, you sign your Independent Contractor MSA and join the active floating roster in Freedcamp to claim upcoming $250–$500 tour dates.

"The greatest performances happen when the artist disappears and the mission takes center stage. That is the power of being 'Beyond Me'."

What It’s Really Like On The Impact Roster

BEHIND THE SCENES: ON TOUR & DOING STUDIO WORK WITH WATSON TUNEZ

We believe professional musicians and creatives deserve an environment that respects their craft, values their time, and guarantees their compensation. We don’t operate on empty promises, bar tabs, or unpredictable ticket splits. Every tour date we book is backed by signed B2B institutional contracts and upfront deposits, ensuring our roster members earn $250 to $500 per event with simple logistics and zero guesswork.

Watch the video below to hear from Costabelle Ja’nae on what it’s actually like to hit the road, rehearse, and perform alongside Watson Tunez.

"You aren't just showing up to play notes on a stage. You’re stepping into an environment of excellence, mutual respect, and genuine brotherhood and sisterhood—where your musicianship fuels a movement that changes lives in real-time."

Beyond the stage, active touring members gain priority access to creative studio sessions with Watson, collaborating on the records, live arrangements, and movement anthems that power the Beyond Me Initiative across the country. If you are a working professional looking for high-energy live dates, tight stage chemistry, and meaningful music without the typical gig-circuit chaos, this is where you belong.

"The stage is temporary, but the impact of a service-driven life is eternal. Come help us write the soundtrack for a better world."

FAQ's

Please read though these FAQs carefully. If you still have questions, email us at [email protected]

Is this a permanent band or a session-based collective?

We operate on a paid floating roster model rather than a rigid permanent band structure. This setup allows professional session drummers, synth players, DJs, and sound engineers to pick up scheduled tour dates around their existing routines without minimum monthly requirements.

What position(s) in the backing band are you looking to fill right away?

We are actively recruiting for three core roles within "The Live Three" stage setup: live drummers, synth and keyboard players who can trigger backing tracks, and DJs. We are also onboarding experienced live sound engineers to manage front-of-house audio and technical production.

I am a vocalist, dancer, or camera creative. How often will I be booked?

Our core weekly touring circuit (student rallies, youth nights, and schools) runs lean with our 3-piece unit: Watson, Drummer, DJ, and Sound Tech. Backing vocalists, dancers, videographers, and photographers are deployed for our major youth conferences, multi-camera media productions, and our annual Service Fest. Joining the floating roster now ensures your audition tape is cleared, putting you first in line for contracted dates as major shows are locked onto the calendar.

If I join the extended roster, am I locked into an exclusive contract?

No. All positions on both the core and extended rosters are independent work-for-hire contractor roles. We respect your schedule as a professional working creative. When a date fits your availability, you claim it; if you are booked elsewhere, we move down the call list.

How and when do I get paid?

Floating roster members earn $250 to $500 per event. Compensation is paid out electronically directly following the completion of each scheduled tour date or Keynote Concert Impact Experience

I have a busy schedule. How much notice will I get for impact experiences?

We post booking dates as soon as institutional schedules and deposits are locked in, typically 30 to 60 days in advance. Because we operate on a flexible paid floating roster model, you pick up tour dates that fit your existing availability without any minimum monthly commitment.

Are rehearsals and soundchecks paid?

Performance compensation is built directly into our $250 to $500 per event rate. We provide pre-synced backing tracks, stage charts, and click tracks in advance so you arrive fully prepped for a seamless, plug-and-play soundcheck on the day of the event.

Do I need to provide my own gear?

Yes. As professional touring musicians, DJs, and sound engineers, you are expected to bring high-quality, road-ready gear. Drummers provide their snare, cymbals, and hardware; synth and keyboard players bring their rig and IEM (in-ear monitor) setup; and sound engineers coordinate directly with front-of-house production

How do I move up to primary roster status?

Roster priority is based on stage energy, punctuality, technical precision, and alignment with our servant-leadership culture. Team members who deliver seamless performances and represent the movement with excellence receive first-priority availability for upcoming tour dates.

What is the dress code for keynote events?

We wear clean, modern, streetwear-inspired apparel aligned with the Live Beyond You brand aesthetic. Specific wardrobe guidelines are sent prior to each event to ensure a unified stage presence.

Can I still play with other bands or do my own projects?

Yes. Our paid floating roster is specifically built for active session musicians, drummers, DJs, and sound engineers. You retain complete freedom to take outside dates, teach, or run your own creative projects.

What happens if I can't make an impact experience I already committed to?

Once you confirm a date, you are locked into that event. If an unexpected emergency arises, you must notify our team immediately so we can route another verified member from our floating roster to cover the date without interrupting technical execution.

What exactly is Beyond Me Entertainment?

Beyond Me Entertainment is a digital record label that produces uplifting music, media, and live experiences designed to inspire everyday humanitarians to take action in their local communities. We provide the soundtrack, visual media, and creative infrastructure that fuel the Live Beyond You movement.

What are "Impact Experiences" and "Social Impact Touring"?

Instead of standard music bookings, we host Keynote Concert Impact Experiences across four institutional verticals: middle schools, high schools, colleges, and churches. These high-energy events blend pop-rap music, live drums, DJ sets, and transformational storytelling to break down social anxiety and activate students for local service through our serve-share-nominate model.

What kind of music will I be playing?

You will perform high-energy pop-rap, hip-hop, and pop arrangements by founder and lead artist Watson Tunez. The music features uplifting melodies, live drum energy, and electronic synth textures that are completely profanity-free and crafted specifically for institutional keynote stages.

Does the Impact Band only perform for non-profit events?

No. We execute paid keynote events across middle schools, high schools, colleges, churches, and corporate sponsor functions. Every event is funded through direct institutional bookings or corporate CSR sponsorships, ensuring all floating roster members are paid $250 to $500 per event.

What is the "Beyond Me Initiative"?

Beyond Me Initiative is our federally recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Indiana. It handles institutional partnerships and manages our $5,000 Humanitarian Grant Pool. When we perform at schools and churches, Beyond Me Initiative enables students and audience members to nominate local non-profits to receive project grants funded by our grant pool.

Where is the Impact Band based?

Our core operations are based in Indianapolis, Indiana, with tour dates scheduled across the Midwest. Through our paid floating roster model, we welcome session drummers, synth/keyboard players, DJs, and live sound engineers who can travel for scheduled tour dates across the region.
