Facebook bio:
"Someone
had to find an alternative
to
the approach
that has kept artists
on the
wrong side
of the benefits
in this
industry for far too long.
If someone’s going to do it, it
might as
well be us—the artists."
Acclaimed musicians
Nova Twins,
Fever 333
and Oxymorrons
bring it on
333 Wreckords.
You can too!
