"Kurrent is the future of music blogging, consumption, and research. We're revolutionizing the music blog through democratization, and, more importantly facilitating discovery and exploration of the industry itself. Kurrent adapts to your tastes, making it an amazing tool for all music fans. I can't wait to see what's down the road for us," explains
Danny Garcia, who is currently studying
Music Business and Production at the prestigious Clive Davis
Institute of Recording
Music at NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
Rene Garcia's small software firm, based in Boca Raton FL, has been creating software components for developers for over twenty years; he offers a more technical perspective on Kurrent Music:
"At first, I was just helping
Danny jumpstart his music blog in a popular blogging platform, but when I took a closer look at its limitations I realized there was a huge opportunity to leverage some of the APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) available in the music industry to create an information mash and a whole music blogging technology platform around this data. The results are just amazing and you are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. At Kurrent
Music we are just starting to explore new ways our curated data can be leveraged to provide a whole new experience when listening, watching or reading about music, it's very exciting!" concluded Mr. Garcia.
Pallas Loredo provides additional feedback from a blogger's perspective, "One of the great things about Kurrent
Music is that the content available is extremely diverse; there are countless genres of music that are covered on the blog. And if, by chance, you cannot find any articles on the genre of your choice, the Kurrent platform is designed so that anyone can fill that void. This unique website gives those with a voice/opinion/passion towards music a place to express said voice or opinion. Kurrent
Music takes care of the layout, graphics, and the technological details one would not even consider, so that the writer can put their focus on what's important, which is (of course), their creative content."
