When reaching out to entertainers—regardless of whether they’re singers, stage performers, or street artists—you must safeguard your privacy and theirs. Performers often work in public or high-traffic environments, and sharing private info may invite harassment, stalking, or exploitation.

Start by using professional communication channels whenever possible. You can usually find their professional email or agency info on their website or bio. Use their official outlets—never respond to unsolicited requests for your private details.

When direct contact becomes unavoidable, create a disposable contact method through services like Burner or Hushed. This keeps your primary information private and gives you control over who can reach you. Never reveal where you live, work, or regularly spend time.

Even if a performer seems trustworthy, it’s wise to maintain boundaries. Choose apps with end-to-end encryption and granular permission settings. When arranging a post-show encounter, meet in a busy café, lobby, or venue with security personnel. Inform someone you trust about your plans.

Never feel pressured to share more stuff than you’re comfortable with. Professional artists value boundaries and will never push you.

Always listen to your gut. If something feels off, it’s okay to walk away or stop communication. Even the most inspiring connection isn’t worth risking your well-being.

With intentional limits and protective technology, you can build authentic connections without compromising your safety.
