The Streets Booking Agency Profile
The Streets, a producer, songwriter, and rapper Mike Skinner's long-term project, emerged in the early new millennium with a unique sound that influenced the growth of the garage and grime scenes in Britain. Skinner made his name as a really unique voice in British hip-hop, first with the Mercury Music Prize-nominated Original Pirate Material and then with the chart-topping tour de force A Grand Don't Come for Free. He was a natural storyteller with a great deal of humor and heart, and he had a unique style of delivery and production that helped to sustain the Streets' popularity and creative vitality for the rest of the decade. Following Computers and Blues, he placed the project on hold.
After moving to London, Skinner—a Birmingham native—found himself as an outsider in the garage scene. He had started producing his own music, drawing inspiration from a variety of genres such as reggae, country, hip-hop, house, and jungle. When he started the Streets, he honed a distinctive production and singing approach that would later become his signature. He got a deal and the song was released after sending an early demo of "Has It Come to This" to Nick Worthington of the well-known garage label Locked On. It was a Top 20 success that also happened to launch Skinner's career, peaking at number 18 on the UK singles chart. Original Pirate Material, The Streets' debut album, received a lot of positive reviews, was nominated for a Mercury Prize, and peaked at number 12..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking The Streets to perform.
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like The Streets in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking The Streets or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
The Streets's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking The Streets for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book The Streets, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing The Streets. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate The Streets booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book The Streets for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final The Streets booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will The Streets charge for an event. An example fee to book The Streets is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the The Streets agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The The Streets manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book The Streets for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the The Streets agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book The Streets, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the The Streets booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for The Streets, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
