I had the pleasure of meeting Max Willens, blog editor of We All Make Music (WAMM), this summer over an espresso at Stumptown Coffee. We discussed the future of the music business and how crowdfunding is playing a part. As I learned more about Max, I became very impressed with his knowledge and passion for music and musicians. His unique perspective as a native New Yorker growing up in a very creative household comes across in his writing. I have been reading his articles and feel they add much value to the rising Creative Class.

The music industry has drastically changed over the past decade. No longer is there a singular path to success. Successfully producing, promoting, and playing music takes a different level of skill. Knowledge is now king and WAMM exists to consistently provide this knowledge that musicians need.

WAMM is part blog, part music-making community that keeps tabs on all important trends. "For musicians, by musicians, WAMM is a resource for news, tips and inspiration on everything the new millennium musician needs to thrive."

So check out WAMM and all the talented bloggers that create it's awesome content. Check out WAMM if you want to learn about the new music business.
