Ask HN: A Survey of Your Musical Life

Hi everyone,

As is commonplace here I'm sure, market research is an important part of the decision to dive into a startup idea or not.

For many months now I've been busily researching and designing the foundations of a business and an accompanying suite of services and apps that I hope will become a new and vital tool for the music industry and it's participants. From artists, fans, and venues to management, promoters, and patrons of the arts, I hope to strengthen and catalyze the business and creative ecosystem from the inside out in ways that no one has done before. The help and opinions of the members of HN are greatly appreciated and valued.

The following Survey of Your Musical Life will ask you general questions about who you are, what your listening habits are, and what social media you use. From there it asks specific questions tailored to how you participate in the music industry (performing artist, fan, management, promoter, patron etc.). The survey is a bit long, but one person as described it as "pleasantly introspective" already so perhaps it will be a nice journey for you!

Anyone can take the survey so please share it freely. As a token of my gratitude, upon completion you can provide your email address to become a beta tester after we launch, subscribe to product updates (no spam, I promise), or even enter in a random drawing for $50!

So please give about 25 minutes of your time to support me and entrepreneurship in the arts. I think we all agree that the industry needs it.

With much gratitude,

Brian Clements
