Why We Exist
We’re the #1 Source for Music News, Gear Reviews, Lessons and more.
We’re not just another gear review site—we’re a community built by musicians, for musicians and music lovers.
Whether you’re a beginner searching for your first instrument, a seasoned musician, or just have an interest in music, we’ve got you covered with expert insights and real-world experience.
For every review, guide, lesson, and news article we publish, we tap into the musical expertise of our contributors, our genuine love of music and our desire to inspire your next great performance.
We’re dedicated to providing the most accurate, unbiased reviews of gear, albums, and everything music-related.
No brand sponsorships or industry influence here—just honest, transparent information from real musicians who know the game.
We also fight for artist rights and aim to build a space that connects musicians of all levels, empowering them to succeed.
With fake reviews flooding the internet and platforms that fail to properly support musicians, it’s tough to know who to trust. That’s where we come in.
Our mission? To help artists thrive in a world where the balance between commerce and art has become skewed.
We stand against the broken system that makes it hard for musicians to make a living doing what they love. Here, the artist always comes first.
From those just starting in their garages to seasoned professionals hitting the main stage, we’re here for every step of the journey.
The journey of every artist matters. Let’s build a better music industry together—one where musicians thrive.
We believe in being open and honest in everything we do, whether it’s in our reviews, our interactions with the community, or within our team.
We communicate clearly, set realistic expectations, and always provide full disclosure.
We don’t BS when it comes to music.
We’ve been musicians our whole lives and have worked with other musicians on tours so we’re very familiar with the industry, how it works, and who says what.
All the information and data we provide is accurate and honest.
We want this community to be a home base for musicians of all levels and walks of life.
We are here to connect, teach, and learn.
We want to help all musicians and artists succeed.
We are musicians, journalists, music lovers, futurists, philosophers, artists and activists.
We come from different backgrounds and are a collection of very different experiences.
Where we come together is our drive to create meaningful change in our industry.
We LOVE what we do and we think we’re pretty damn good at it. We live and die by our core values.
We don’t want to create more internet fodder.
We want to create things online that actually help people and make a difference in their lives and our world.
Born in a Boston suburb, I moved west and never looked back.
After all, sunshine, beaches and warm weather are too tempting when you’ve grown up in the cold.
I’ve traveled here and there, eaten my fair share of sushi thanks to my wife and love a good hack-and-slash game, albeit on the Playstation.
I’ve been building things on the web for longer than he can remember, and now he’s co-CEO on Music Minds.
My day-to-day varies, but I’m largely responsible for overseeing the operations of the websites, along with helping to streamline what’s next in terms of content, SEO, development and much more.
After teaching at Assumption University in Thailand in my 20’s, I became an entrepreneur (import/export) and fell in love with search engine optimization and digital media (after a few failed startups).
I founded my first successful company, Highly Relevant – acquired in 2014 by Wpromote.
Today, I run a publishing media group that has millions of visitors each month, and we’re expanding into the political and entertainment space to reach a new audience.
I’m a creative producer, actor, publisher, advisor, investor and entrepreneur and am grateful to share my journey with others.
We couldn’t do what we do without our dedicated team of professional musicians and music lovers. If you’re interested in working for Music Minds, please email [email protected].
