2009

I started this website because of my fervent love for music, its creation and the sharing of it. Since its inception, I’ve met a lot of cool people, made some friends along the way, and tried to share all I could with everyone else.

These days, the bulk of the responsibilities are in my collaborators hands, but this is still my longest standing project I've ever been part of and it's something I truly love.
