415 original artists are available to book in the United Arab Emirates, with 505 reviews from real clients rating performances 5 out of 5. These are acts that perform their own material: singer-songwriters and singing guitarists at one end, original bands, rappers and DJ-producers at the other, and most of them mix their own songs with covers so a set works for a crowd that has never heard them.
Booking fees start from AED400 for a solo acoustic set and most bookings sit around AED1,650, with the size of the act and the length of the set deciding the rest. Sort the results below by price to compare fees before you enquire.

Wedding Bands in United Arab EmiratesOriginal artists in the United Arab Emirates range from a solo singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar to a full band or a rapper with a DJ, and the common thread is a repertoire they wrote themselves. Some have released records and play festivals; others are working musicians who fold three or four of their own songs into a covers set. The profile tells you which, and the audio and video on it are the quickest way to judge whether the sound fits the event.
Original acts suit the parts of an event where people listen rather than dance: a drinks reception, a dinner, a festival slot or a launch where the music is meant to be noticed. For a wedding party or a dancefloor, ask how much of the set is covers, because a room full of guests who do not know the songs is the one thing an originals act cannot fix. Many will learn a first-dance song or a request if asked in advance.
Fees for original artists in the United Arab Emirates run from AED400 to AED7,500+, with most bookings around AED1,650. A solo acoustic set sits at the bottom of the range and a band with its own sound engineer at the top; an act with a following charges for the name as well as the set. Travel and a PA, where the venue has none, are the usual extras.
The average price is AED1,650, with most priced from AED400 to AED7,500+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Semi L
"Semi flew in to Mauritius and we cannot thank her enough for her contribution to our special day. She was professional, friendly, well dressed to our floral dress code and chatted even with our guests creating a laid back atmosphere. She was a massive hit with everybody with her first Teresa Teng's most famous and iconic song is "The Moon Represents My Heart" (月亮代表我的心). She also built a custom setlist based on our music choices which was incredibly special. We can't fault her or recommend her highly enough. 谢谢 Xièxiè Semi."

"We booked Roberto to play at our wedding in Spain – and we are SO glad we did!
Roberto started by playing some songs during dinner, which was the perfect way to create a great atmosphere! Afterward, he played a 30-minute set for the party, which was the perfect way to get the celebration going!
He has our highest recommendation!"
For the Audience of One
"Absolutely incredible! Nerina’s voice was exceptional and truly touched our hearts. Her beautiful singing, accompanied by Juan’s gentle sound of the guitar, created such a warm and special atmosphere at our wedding.
The highlight for us was the beautiful, personalised song they performed especially for our son and daughter-in-law. It was such a meaningful and emotional moment that we will treasure forever.
Thank you, Nerina and Juan, for creating such a magical memory for our family. Your talent and passion were extraordinary, and we couldn’t recommend you highly enough! ❤️"
