I discovered SoundCloud early on after attending the Creative Commons Summit, where I saw its potential for independent artists. Over the years, I’ve watched the shift from music to gaming, where esports players now earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money, while most musicians are forced to become teachers to survive.

Recently, a gamer who has made $781,000 from competitive gaming reached out to buy my three-letter SoundCloud ID: “jam”. But this username represents more than just a handle—it’s a piece of my music journey, and I’m not selling it.

Instead of giving in to this trend, I’m embracing AI-generated music and using SoundCloud as a space to explore new creative possibilities. If you’re here, I hope you listen, explore, and stay connected—because music still matters.
