Welcome to the Creators Community! Come Introduce Yourself

[ChrisPandora]

Greetings and welcome to the Pandora for Creators Community! This is a space to learn about AMP tools, connect with other creators and get support.

My name is Chris and I am one of the Moderators and a Lead Support Specialist on the AMP team 🙂

If you are new to Pandora for Creators, please introduce yourself! You can feel free to include:

• A link to your music and/or podcast on Pandora
• An artist that inspires you
• Your favorite AMP tool

I’m happy to kick this off!

Here is a link to my band on Pandora.

David Byrne is an artist who truly inspires me. I was fortunate enough to see him perform a few years ago and marveled at how he was able to reimagine songs I’ve heard a million times to sound fresh & exciting with new live arrangements.

The AMP tool I think is special is Artist Audio Messages. It is such a unique way to connect with your audience that can only be found on Pandora.

Once again, welcome and don’t feel shy!

Hi everyone this  is Landon_Fagan1 I am so happy to be on Pandora I have a lot of hobbies and friends I really love to listen to music I like any type of music except Jazz. 

[ChrisPandora]

Welcome @Landon_Fagan1! Happy to have you here 🙂

LOL Jazz can be a hard sell! It took me some time to appreciate it but I've grown to love it. Give it a little time 😉

[Landon_Fagan1]

Ok I really think it is a little bit to slow for me 

[AIGava]

Hi there!  AI Gava here!  Yeah yeah I know "AI" but I'm trying to break the mold a bit.  It's not just hit a button and generate and upload.  I spend days on tracks refining and tuning, cutting/cropping, adding etc.  Whatever it takes trying to channel that sound I'm looking for in my head. The tracks range from humorous parody like to occasional culturally relevant and a little deep at times.  But I absolutely love what I do, and just felt like I needed to share it!

Inspired by Avicii and oddly enough, video game music at times 😆
Still discovering the AMP tools, but I may dig into the playlists and curated stations when I get a chance!

[ChrisPandora]

Welcome @AIGava and no shame being influenced by video games lol! One of my biggest musical influences is the music from Sonic the Hedgehog so I totally get it 😉

Hello everyone, I’m new here. My name is David Appleton, I’m a musician, singer, and songwriter. The reason I’ve joined is that, from what I’ve seen, Pandora supports independent artists, and I’m looking to grow my music on Pandora as well.
