Meet the Founder

Hello,

I’m Kim-BERLY. Just an inquisitive talent (vocalist, violinist, band leader, songwriter, founder) who cares a great deal about the gigging musicians industry. Partly because I live in it.Partly because the people I love live in it. Mostly we’ll call it “a natural obsession”.

I began booking in 2017. My first company filed under the name 1974B, a reference to the year Reid and Elton John secured the largest music advance in history at the time: $8 million, despite their famously volatile relationship. Whatever.

For years however, I stayed behind the curtain; hesitant to step into the public scene as a “booking competitor”. Until 2023, when the pull became inevitable.

Then I started to launch, legitimately, what I had always wished existed.

A platform.
A standard.
A way of booking that protects talent and serves clients without compromise.

The kind of representation that truly cares about how things are done. That understands presentation, pay structure, communication, and follow-through. That believes loving what you do requires protecting it.

Because when you love something, you steward it.

If you are Berly World talent, you have access to the platform — and you help shape it as we build.
If you are a client, you benefit from it — and your standards refine it as we grow.

Checks and balances are built into the system. Alignment is intentional.

My advisors operate at the highest levels. The talent you see here is vetted, top-tier, and unmatched. The dev team? I’ll never tell lol. And our musical partners power it all. Nothing makes me happier than recognizing these integral parts.

I’m wildly proud of what this is becoming.
And now, I’m ready to share it.

With Love,


BERLY
