Words and roundup by Jesse K, powered by SoundCTRL
I got a chance to start playing with Apple Music over the weekend. The fan in me is excited about the possibility of starting fresh with the service and growing to know Apple Music as they continue to refine it. There is something special about being early with a band or a company and following their growth. It’s a pure passion of mine and I feel like we get this opportunity with Apple Music platform. On my way to Summit Series this past weekend, I got a crack at Apple Music and was discovering new tunes, vibing out to some of their curated playlists and getting co-responses from my friends in the car.
