83% of our audience are Gen Zs and Millennials and hail from across the United States, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, India, and Japan.
 
What is the publication’s editorial focus for the remainder of 2022?
Aside from our work in editorial, we also host our own events both in-person and online. Some of these events include Bandwagon Pixel Party which is hosted in the metaverse. We’re also exploring more stories about web3, as well widening our coverage of artists from East Asia. 

Our articles are currently available in both English, and Bahasa Indonesia. We are looking into expanding our reach by translating some of our pieces in Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin as well.
 
What key trends or sectors are you following at the moment?
Highlighting more stories and insights about web3 and its future in music.
 
Do you have any recent audience or readership figures to share?
We recently broke 1 million monthly views last June, and while that number may seem minuscule to others, it means a lot to a small, independent publication like ours.
