How The Broskis Turned a Free Album Listening Party Into a Revenue-Generating Experience

On a Sunday evening in Kaduna, something special happened at Refinery Quarters, Sabo. Before the world got to hear the "Broski" album, a select group of guests experienced the sound, the stories, and the energy up close at an exclusive, private first listen.

Behind the music is The Broskis, a duo made up of Eazy Bob Wizzy and Menxee, members of the Ryt Path Co. creative collective. And behind the event was an understanding that many organizers miss: the most memorable experiences aren't always the biggest ones. They're the ones where every detail is intentional.

An exclusive first listen

The Broski Album Listening Party wasn't your typical music event. Spaces were deliberately limited, venue details were shared privately with confirmed guests, and the whole evening, from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM, was designed to feel personal.

Guests didn't just hear an album before its release. They got to sit with Eazy Bob Wizzy and Menxee, hear the stories behind the songs, and connect with the community that made the project possible.

Making a free event pay for itself

Here's the part that surprised even the duo. The listening party was a free event, but it still generated revenue.

How? The Broskis enabled Attndly's donation feature, giving their community a way to support the project while claiming their free spot.

We hosted our album listening party as a free event, but enabled their donation feature, and it was wild to see how a 'free' event still generated revenue thanks to that tool and our amazing community. - Eazy Bob Wizzy

It's a model more creatives are waking up to. Free registration removes the barrier to entry and fills the room, while donations let your most invested supporters contribute what the experience is worth to them. For independent artists, that can mean the difference between an event that costs you money and one that funds the next project.

Built for creators who love their data

For The Broskis, the experience started well before event day. Setting up the event page and going live was, in Eazy Bob Wizzy's words, "seamless and incredibly intuitive." But the feature that really won them over? Real-time data.

"As someone obsessed with data, the ability to automatically sync attendee registrations to a Google Sheet in real-time is an absolute chef's kiss." — Eazy Bob Wizzy

Every RSVP flowed straight into their spreadsheet as it happened. No exporting, no manual updates, no wondering how many guests to expect. Just a live view of their guest list, always up to date.

The album is out now 🔥

The best part of this story? The music the room gathered to hear is no longer a secret. "Broski" has officially dropped, and you can stream it right here:

At Attndly, this is exactly the kind of thing we love to do. We're not just a ticketing platform, we're fans of the creators who build on us. When you host with Attndly, we're rooting for the work itself, whether that's an album, a film, a fashion line, or a live show. Your win is our win, and we'll gladly use our platform to amplify it.

What's next

With the listening party in the rearview and the album out in the world, The Broskis are already looking ahead to their next function, and to the Attndly features they haven't even touched yet.

"We didn't even get to use their on-site check-in feature this time around, but I'm genuinely excited to test it out at our next function. Attndly has officially won us over. This is going to be our go-to ticketing platform moving forward!" — Eazy Bob Wizzy

We can't wait to see what they host next. And when they do, we'll be there, tickets, data, and all.

You bring the art, we'll handle the event

Whether you're dropping an album, premiering a film, or hosting an intimate showcase, Attndly gives you free event pages, donations, real-time attendee data, and check-in tools built for creatives. And as The Broskis can tell you, we love shining a light on the people who create on our platform.
