Why Us

We are an end-to-end talent engagement and solutions company that handles all the aspects concerning an artist’s participation, including, but not limited to: researching and curating a list of potential artists that meet our client’s objectives; contacting and confirming the artist; and negotiating and acting as the liaison for contract fulfillment and ensuring that the final performance/content is delivered well to create the desired impact & to exceed clients’ expectations. We also offer onsite support to our clients on the day of the event/campaign to make sure everything goes smoothly and the event/campaign is a success.

Choosing the right talent from an ever expanding pool of options can be overwhelming. Black Hat's expertise & purview is solely focused on providing talent solutions across all categories for all kinds of events, endorsements & marketing campaigns.
Our experienced talent consultants help you navigate this extensive pool of artists, celebrities, speakers, and influencers with ease.For instance, a singer who is perceived to be a great playback singer may not necessarily be a great live performer for events. Our talent consultants understand these nuances and help you choose the perfect talent, ensuring the best fit for your event or campaign. Most importantly, we offer a cost advantage, providing competitive prices that are often lower (if not at par) than booking the talent directly, thanks to our aggregator model.

We provide talent for a wide range of events — including corporate events, private parties, weddings, public / ticketed shows, festivals, community events, concerts, and MICE gatherings. Whatever the occasion, we can help make it memorable and engaging.

We provide Indian, Australian, and international talent across a wide range of categories — including Bollywood and classical musicians, DJs, live bands, dancers, comedians, magicians, roving performers, and unique acts — for weddings, corporate events, public/ ticketed events and private parties across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast & beyond.

We work with an exciting mix of performers from Australia — including one-of-a-kind speciality acts, magicians, mentalists, balancing acts, foot jugglers, LED drummers, street percussionists, as well talent across genres and categories from India. Many of our Australian performers have featured on Australia’s Got Talent and other major live entertainment platforms. If you’re open toflying in top-notch acts from other parts of the world, we also have some fantastic international
options that can add a global flair to your event.

With Black Hat , you can book Bollywood, Punjabi, South Indian or Regional singers for weddings in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Gold Coast. If you already have a specific artist or a few options in mind, we can offer a competitive quote and professionally manage the engagement end-to-end, keeping your interests in mind. If not, our client servicing team will carefully understand your event’s objective, audience profile, budget and other factors
— and then recommend the most suitable singers from our extensive network.

Absolutely. We can help you engage and book top cricketers and other sports personalities from India, Australia, and across the globe. Whether you're looking to bring legends like Rahul Dravid, Kapil Dev, Virendra Sehwag, Saurav Ganguly, Brett Lee , Adam Gilchrist, Glen Mcgrath, or Steve Waugh for meet-and-greets, appearances, or speaking sessions — we can facilitate the entire process seamlessly.

As an aggregator doing more than 750 talent engagements annually, our endeavour is to offer you artists at a cost lesser than what you can potentially get directly, if not, at par. With Black Hat you are assured of getting a competitive price as our costs are free from any commissions or agency fees.

Working with us turns out to be more prudent and effortless than dealing with artists directly, thanks to our rapport with artists & their managers, smooth booking history & the compound effects of multiple bookings for various agencies and clients. Think of booking.com for instance, a website where you can book any hotel, anywhere in the world & at a price which is better or at par with the rates offered by the hotel if you book directly. You get the drift.

Speaker fees can vary greatly depending on factors like the speaker’s profile, the type of event, duration of the session, scope of work and travel requirements. At Black Hat, we work with a wide spectrum of motivational, keynote, and celebrity speakers — ranging from emerging voices to renowned personalities from sports including popular cricketers, business, health & wellness, entertainment, technology, and more. Our team helps you select the perfect speaker from a
diverse roster of experts across industries, ensuring they align with your event theme, audience profile, and budget.

We work with experienced Bollywood and Punjabi DJs across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and the Gold Coast. Just share your event style — from classic Bollywood to high-energy Bhangra , Punjabi pop, retro or fusion — and we’ll recommend DJs to match your vibe and budget. In case you have the budgets to fly in renowned Bollywood DJs from India, we have that covered too — our team can manage the booking, logistics, and end-to-end coordination seamlessly.

Yes! We provide energetic Bhangra dance groups, Bollywood performers, and cultural dance troupes across Sydney, Melbourne, and beyond. Whether it's a sangeet night, wedding reception, or corporate gala — our performers know how to set the stage on fire.

We consistently book and engage comedians for corporate, social, and public events in India — and can now do the same across Australia. From Indian stand-up comedians to popular Australian performers, we can help you find the perfect entertainer for your audience and event
type.

Absolutely — we provide celebrity anchors, professional emcees, multilingual hosts, and comedian hosts across Australia and India to keep your audience engaged and entertained.

Yes — we facilitate celebrity appearances across Australia, including Bollywood actors, singers,comedians, cricketers, influencers, and public figures from India, Australia, and beyond. Whether it’s a meet-and-greet, brand launch, award function, or a private celebration, we can help secure the right personality to grace your event.

For various reasons we only list a small selection of the ever-expanding spectrum of artists available under each category. In case you cannot locate what you are looking for on our website or are looking for something completely bespoke, just connect with us and rest assured that our client servicing team has the expertise and network to secure and deliver your specific requirements.

We work closely with each client to get a clear idea of their needs and objectives before recommending the most meaningful talent solutions that will deliver the desired results. Our consultants listen intently to the client brief and ask the right questions in order to make the best recommendations. As a practice, we consider a set of key criteria like target audience, budget, theme and other relevant factors to find the best fit talent for an event or campaign. Our recommendations are driven by the business objectives of our clients and not the sales targets of artists; unlike most talent management agencies.

1. The client speaks to a Client Servicing Executive (CSE) from Black Hat, shares the brief & answers some basic questions. The CSE requests the client to share some of the information in a certain template (refer our enquiry form) preferably via email or Whatsapp.
2. The CSE shares options of talent or entertainment with approximate budgets, costs and reference material (profiles/video links) as per the brief.
3. You or your client  shares the shortlisted options or alternatively gives feedback in case you need us to share more options or need more information.
4. After the shortlisting of talent options, our team speaks to each of them & gets back to you with relevant details like their intent, availability, commercials, requirements like travel, stay, ground transport, technical rider etc. (as applicable), and other relevant details including important fine print. At any stage our team is happy to give you their recommendations.
5. Once the top preference/s are identified, our CSE will negotiate only with those artists, on your behalf (wherever possible) & get back with the final closing prices, relevant requirements (travel, stay, tech rider etc.) & terms including for payment.
6. Once you decide to confirm & book the talent/s, Black Hat shall do the required formalities with you & the talent to secure & lock everything. The endeavor is to identify & address any loose ends & ensure that all parties are aligned on the same page before confirming the talent/s.
7. The CSE at Black Hat shall facilitate & execute the booking professionally & shall be there onsite (in case of events or shoots) to ensure everything goes smoothly & the client is happy.

It’s completely optional — if you’d like us to manage the logistics, we can take care of everything including travel, stay, visa, and related arrangements at an estimated cost, which will be shared with you in advance for approval. Alternatively, you can choose to handle these arrangements directly. Some artists may have specific technical or hospitality riders, and we’ll provide full visibility on these well before confirmation to ensure everything runs smoothly.
