The app for independent voices
Got a nice bump of traffic from Reddit, the Verge and BlueSky overnight—hello new visitors!
✍️ I write monthly essays exploring the future of music through the lens of fandom, technology, discovery and culture, drawing on insights from my 13+ years working in music at Spotify, Billboard, NPR Music and advising music startups.
💿 I’m a former college radio DJ & GM and lover of mix CDs. Playlists are my love language.
Some of my recent essays include:
➡️ The Rise of Fan-Driven Discovery (+ insights from my Gen Z readers!)
➡️ How indie artists use Substack to run their fan clubs
💖 Paid subscribers get access to my curated database of 120+ fan-first music startups + support my work and keep it free to read. 5% of all subscription revenue is donated quarterly to music related charities.
