2/ Is This Something You Always Wanted To Do? What Do You Enjoy About It?
Yes, this is something I have wanted to do at least for the last 6 years. I realised I loved discovering new music and what bummed me out was people’s low tolerance towards new and good music. Everyone listens to the same kind of generic stuff that everyone else is listening to. As a result, some great artists and great music get ignored. My aim was to bring the less heard music to people: it started with me sharing music with friends and now it extends to the world. I get a kick out of people telling me that they loved what I introduced them to.
