Happy New Year’s everyone! To celebrate the start of 2014, we thought that we would share a few fun facts and accomplishments on Teen Jazz in the last year.
2013 was our first full year since the site was relaunched (we started back up in August 2012). Here’s our very first article since our relaunch, but this was actually the first article on Teen Jazz in 2004.
In 2013 we officially published our 200th music advice article (this one). Our 100th article was a guest post by Sean Winter and it was published February this year.
Our family of up and coming artists reached 37 members from all over the world – Canada, Sweden, the US, the UK, Venezuela and Argentina. You can join our community by applying here!
We currently have a team of 12 contributing writers including: Shannon Kennedy, U-Nam, Rheuben Allen, Andrew Gordon, Cyrene Jagger, Richard Simon, Peggy Duquesnel, Sean Winter, Kenn Hadnot, Joel Perkosky, James Barrera, and Dana Brenklin.
This past month, we ran our second annual 12 Deals of Christmas and had the opportunity to work with a lot of great sponsors. We’d like to thank Kenkase Music, Rheuben Allen, Vibrato Saxophones, ADG Productions, DC Music School, Tim Price, The Mastermind Factory, and Skytown Records.
