The purpose of this blog is to have an open conversation with you as we grow and develop the 8trk™ project. We want to share our thoughts with music lovers and entrepreneurs because that’s who we are. We will talk about the music we like, news we find interesting and the lessons we learn for your own amusement and learning.
We invite you to tell us about music you enjoy, artist we should watch, news worth knowing and your reactions to updates and screenshots that we will release about the project. This process can only result in a better user experience for you, a better product and a few laughs along the way. Thanks in advance in all of your feedback.

The 8trk Team
headcoach, growing and going
Not all business all the time, but when big media is throwing money around left and right in the name of web entrepreneurship, you retire your facebook account (should add two hours to your day), find a need to fill and you buy a laser printer (to avoid coronary and neck problems from staring at your computer screen) . . . oh yea, and lots of Vitamin Water. His focus is to attract and mobilize the team, refine and articulate the vision and pray that it all sticks together. His days don’t seem to end until well into the next morning. But he says, “although working off of pure excitement and passion is not the healthiest thing for the body, it’s a wonderful thing for the spirit.”
EmEhRKay, preservin’ his sexy
As the technical guy on this squad, his mornings, days, evenings, nights, early-mornings [late nights for the partiers] are filled with things such as: parent-child node relationships, cross-site scripting/sql injection, PHP, MySQL, JSON, AJAX, APACHE, and thoughts like “is it better to use a singleton here or what?” It’s hard to moisturize your situation when you’re pulling 16+ hour work days, but like Gordan Gekko said - “money never sleeps pal.”
El Gigante, aka Font-ye West
I am Brooklyn. I am hungry at all times (Physically and Theoretically). Every morning, I get up and search for sneakers on ebay before I check my banking. I’m vizualizing episodes of the Jetsons right now as I’m typing this… (Remember Tralfaz ????) I absolutely live for every moment where new music hits my ear. I want you to reread the last statement, I’m SERIOUS. I’m approaching my 30’s, but still have the same neck snapping reaction to the ice cream truck passing by. I REALLY am infatuated with color, and color combinations. I will not do work on your computer unless it has the almighty manzana on it. I type the term ‘SMH’ at least 10x per day. I have to go.
