Singsing — painim ben, bukim, pe i stret
Book the band. Everyone gets paid.
Singsing is the music app for PNG. Hotels, churches, families and promoters find a band, agree the price and sign the agreement on the phone. The money is held safely, the band is paid half the day before and half the day after, and every member gets their share.
Sign in with your PNG phone number — a one-time code is sent by SMS. No password, no app store. Bands, bookers and fans use the same BM ID.
Everything a PNG gig needs, on one phone.
Find and book a band
Search Port Moresby and Lae by style, date and price. Send a request, agree the price or a counter-offer, and sign the agreement with a code from your phone.
If the band does not show, you are covered
Bookers pay a 10% Booking Guarantee. If a band misses the gig and does not pay you back within a month, Singsing refunds you and the band is removed.
Every member paid their share
Bands set their own price and pay no commission. Each gig is split automatically between members, with shared costs like a PA loan repaid first.
Blockchain tickets for your gig
Sell tickets in the app with a QR code checked at the door, even with no data. The capacity is locked on Solana so a show can never be oversold, and resale is capped at face value.
Instruments, AV, cameras and streaming kits
Rent a guitar, drum kit, projector, camera or live-stream kit by the day from verified shops, churches, bands and individuals, with a refundable bond and a photo check at collection and return.
Sound, lights, cameras and live streaming
Get a quote from verified production companies or individual crews: sound engineers, camera operators, live-stream producers. Accept it and pay in the app; they are paid half the day before and half the day after.
Booking a band, start to finish.
Prices are set by the band and checked by the server; the money is held by Blockchain Melanesia until it is due. Nothing moves on someone's word alone.

Built on the BM rails.
Singsing runs on BM ID and BM Pay. Booking money and ticket money are held by Blockchain Melanesia, a Bank of Papua New Guinea licensed e-money issuer, until they are due.
- Blockchain Melanesia holds a Bank of Papua New Guinea e-money licence — money in the app is regulated stored value.
- Payments run through BM Pay on BSP Pay: CIF and mobile OTP, no card details typed into a phone.
- Agreements are signed with a one-time code and fingerprinted, so neither side can quietly change the terms.
- Ticket fingerprints are anchored on Solana: anyone can prove a ticket is real and a show was not oversold.
- Your phone number is your ID: one-time SMS codes, no passwords, the same BM ID in every BM app.
Askim na bekim
The things people ask before they try it.
What does it cost a band?
K50 a year for a band or K35 for a solo artist. No commission on bookings: you keep your price, less the BM Pay fee.
What does it cost to book?
Bookers pay K250 a year, then the band's price plus a K10 lock-in and a 10% Booking Guarantee on each booking.
What if the band does not turn up?
Report it in the app. The half not yet paid comes straight back to you; the band has a month to return the rest, or the Booking Guarantee pays you and the band is removed.
Do fans need a crypto wallet for tickets?
No. Tickets are recorded on Solana for proof, but fans just see a QR code in the app. Nothing to set up.
