Doubt I have many musician followers but I bet a lot of you know some. I'm in this middle of launching this. The true intention is just to support artists making art. Artists in the music industry are taken advantage of by pretty much every major platform where their music is heard. It's a never ending battle for them to be heard, fight algorithms, and make a business. This is my passion project. I'm also bringing in people in the music industry to support the artists on the platform. So, if you're in the industry I would love to get you involved. Please check this out and share it. It means a lot to me and the artists. https://lnkd.in/gDJCNJuM We Are Giant

Happy Earth Day!??? ?? ?? To celebrate, we've teamed up with EarthPercent for a one-day digital music festival on We Are Giant. All tips collected during the listening parties will benefit EarthPercent. Let's do our part! Tap in! www.wearegiant.com/alt

This Thursday, for #rarediseaseday I'm hosting an online listening party on We Are Giant that's free to join/listen, tips will benefit CureLGMD2i Foundation, and should be pretty fun. Cure2i is an organization that has helped me and other patients with the (rare) disease LGMD2i over the years and I'm always looking for ways to give back via my professional day to day. I'll drop a link to RSVP by email (or just message me here) for Thursday 2/29 at 9:30 PM EST / 6:30 PM PST so you can support a good cause and hear good tunes (some rare, some extremely not). Thanks for reading!
