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!

Hello Chris,

Just started the studio artist thing two years ago and try to use Pandora Amp as much as I can but still struggling to truly understand everything, but I am also busy writing and working as well.  Every now and then I get a lot of spins then it dies down.  Have better music coming out this year every time I work forward and learn improvements.  Maybe this will be a good year.  Here is a link to my page https://pandora.app.link/zYCJKgTzn0b

and my latest song https://pandora.app.link/bxcx2CXzn0b

Hello!

I'm new to the community forum, but I have been a Pandora supporter for a very long time. I started using Pandora in 2009! I love Pandora and listen everyday.

I listen to a wide range of music including reggae, alternative rock, Hindi, Punjabi, African, Latin, meditation and many other kinds of music. I wanted to give feedback about some of the Indian music stations. I feel like you need to hire more Asian Indian people to ensure that the stations are playing the appropriate music.

For example, I have a station called "Guru Randhawa." This artist typically plays upbeat Punjabi music, but the station will pull in slow Hindi songs. I feel like it used to be better about playing similar types of music, but now there is a lot of mixing. Also, sometimes I listen to Coldplay and then Linkin Park music will come on. I like both, but if i'm listening to Coldplay, that means I want more chill music, not necessarily Linkin Park. I listen to Linkin Park when I am in a different mood. My Coldplay station is overall great - that was one of my very first stations created and I love it.

I am mostly concerned about the Hindi/Punjabi stations and how they get mixed when the music is very different. Just wanted to provide that feedback...other than that, I love Pandora, clearly.
