ABOUT USWHY LIME?
About us? Well, we’re probably a lot like you.
We’re musicians. We studied music at school. We played gigs at bars and weddings. And at some point, we became interested in traveling and performing, which brought us into the world of cruise ships. And that’s probably why you’re here, too. We met working on board a ship, and before long, we were having long discussions into the night — how awesome the cruise gig was, and why more musicians didn’t know about it. We also found ourselves expressing our frustration with the agencies that were sending musicians out like cattle: uninformed, unprepared, and with minimal attention and effort. We wanted to create an agency that wasn’t an agency, but more like an older brother — helping musicians find work with their best interest at heart. Looking out for them. Helping make them successful and happy. And here we are. .
Even though we already had a head start, having performed on ships for several years, we’re constantly working to understand our musicians’ needs and find each of our musicians the right gig. We still go on board ourselves to actually work — to see ship life from our musicians’ perspective, and gain the most up-to-date knowledge of the gig.
We visit our musicians in rehearsals. We go out of our way to meet our musicians, take them out for meals, get to know them personally, and even throw parties for them, building a real community and growing the Lime family. And we prepare each musician for the gig in a way that no other agency does — with tons of information, prep materials, and insight that only comes from first-hand experience.
This approach has led us to become the fastest-growing agency in the cruise industry. We’ve grown by over 50% in each year of operation. We’ve been given exclusive spots by different cruise lines, which means that we’re the only ones with access to many of the top-paying gigs. Musicians come to us every day, unhappy with their current agents. And it makes us genuinely happy to find them a new, better gig.
Because at the end of the day, we’re musicians, just like you.
