Creating your musician profile on Serenattia costs nothing, and in Tepic it can be the difference between relying only on personal contacts and receiving new requests from people already searching for your genre in the city; you decide your rate and keep 100% of it.
Tepic is the capital of Nayarit, a state that lives between two musical worlds: the regional tradition of the interior and the more tourist-driven pulse of the coast. Check Serenattia's coverage in Tepic to see the picture of registered musicians before setting up your profile.
Between the capital and the coast: a Tepic musician's range of action
Unlike Puerto Vallarta or the Riviera Nayarit, where demand revolves almost entirely around tourist weddings, Tepic has a musical life of its own: patron saint festivals, local weddings, quinceañeras, and the Feria de Nayarit, which every year fills the calendar of bands and regional groups for several weeks.
Many Tepic musicians also accept events on the coast, a little over an hour away, so defining your coverage zone well in your profile (the capital only, or the capital and the coastline) changes the kind of requests you will receive and the price you can quote for transportation and hours.
How much you can charge in Tepic
The Serenattia price Index aggregates market ranges published by press, directories, and providers nationwide. Nayarit does not yet have enough documented public pricing to have its own range in the Index, so the reference starts from the national numbers.
| Format | National reference (MXN) | What to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Banda sinaloense or regional band | MX$2,000 to MX$5,000 per hour | Single song MX$250 to MX$400 |
| Mariachi (6 to 8 musicians) | MX$2,000 to MX$4,500 per hour | Groups of 12 members up to MX$6,000 to MX$8,000 |
| Wedding DJ | MX$3,000 to MX$70,000 per event | Varies by hours, equipment, and lighting |
Use these national ranges as a floor and raise them if the event is on the coast, where the travel logistics justify an additional charge. The banda sinaloense price guide for Tepic shows what local providers are quoting, and the Serenattia live music price Index covers the other formats nationwide.
How to set up your profile
Go to serenattia.com/registro-musico, create your free account, and fill in your stage name, the genres you perform, your coverage zone (Tepic, the coast, or both), and your real calendar availability. A profile without videos almost never receives requests: upload at least a couple of real performances with good audio, even if recorded on a phone. A video recorded in a real venue, with people dancing or listening, usually builds more trust than a perfect studio recording with no live-event context.
If you play several genres, for example regional Mexican and also banda, make clear which is your main format and which are additional, so the client knows exactly what they are hiring before writing to you.
What Serenattia charges you (and what it doesn't)
Signing up costs nothing, there is no monthly fee, and there is no limit on requests. The only charge appears when you confirm a booking, and the client covers it: they pay your rate plus a Serenattia service fee of 10%, with a minimum of MX$200, which they see before paying. You receive 100% of what you quoted, with no deduction.
That fee funds the protected escrow payment, identity verification of profiles, and the review system, three things that make a client trust hiring a musician they have never met in person.
Why it is worth signing up early in Tepic
The digital supply of live music in Nayarit's capital is still small compared with Puerto Vallarta or Guadalajara, which means a well-built profile has a better chance of appearing among the first options when someone searches for music for their event in the city. The sooner you sign up, the more time your profile has to collect reviews before digital competition grows.
What to ask before accepting an event on the coast
Confirm who covers equipment transportation if the event is in San Blas or somewhere on the Riviera Nayarit, because the travel time from Tepic changes the real margin of the booking. Also ask whether the venue has enough power for your equipment, since many party venues on the coast are not designed for full bands, only for smaller formats.
For events in the capital, the logistics are simpler: most venues and gardens in Tepic are already used to hosting bands and regional groups, so the only point to confirm is usually the exact setup time.
Frequently asked questions
Does signing up as a musician on Serenattia have any cost in Tepic?
No. Creating your profile is free and you keep 100% of your rate; the 10% service fee (minimum MX$200) is paid by the client when booking and is never deducted from your payment.
Are there Tepic musicians with an active profile on Serenattia yet?
Coverage by city changes as new profiles register, so there is no fixed figure to report. What can be said today is that Tepic has less digital supply than Puerto Vallarta, which favors whoever registers first.
Can I accept events on the coast if I live in Tepic?
Yes, as long as you indicate it in the coverage zone of your profile; you can quote an additional charge for travel to the coast, which usually takes a little over an hour from the capital.
Which events generate the most demand for live music in Tepic?
Patron saint festivals, local weddings, quinceañeras, and the Feria de Nayarit, which concentrates a good share of hiring for bands and regional groups for several weeks a year.
How do I set my price if my genre has no documented local range?
Start from the national range in the Serenattia Index for the format closest to yours and adjust it for your experience and the event's logistics; the full Index details the other formats and their reference prices.
