Your public profile
Your profile is your calling card as a musician: your photo, stage name, specialities, where you live, your languages, websites, biography and gallery. Institutions that look for you on Weikos see it and, if you make it public, so does anyone with your link. It doesn’t include your contact or personal details. You choose who can see it in its visibility, as explained in Manage your account.
Step by step
