For musicians and producers
M-Pesa tips for musicians and producers in Kenya
Streams pay little and gigs come and go. A Support Hustle page gives the fans who already love your sound a direct way to back your next song, straight into your own M-Pesa Till, Paybill or bank account.
Share one link at the end of your videos, in your bio and on posters at your shows. Fans tap an amount, approve the prompt and leave a message you can read between sets.
What fans help musicians and producers pay for
- Studio time for the next single
- A new mic, beat pad or instrument
- Transport and costs for upcoming shows
- Mixing, mastering and music videos

Questions
Can fans tip me during a live show?
Yes. Put your page’s QR code on screen or on a poster. Fans scan it, pick an amount and approve the M-Pesa prompt on their phone, and the tip lands in your account straight away.
Do I need a record label or a business to sign up?
No. Any musician in Kenya can create a page. You need a Kenyan phone number, a Till, Paybill or bank account to receive into, and to pass a quick check of your name, ID number and phone.
