The Rareform Rundown #41

Hello Friends!

Nathan here, with this week’s update. First up, some news about a Denver musician recently set a Guinness World Record by releasing 200 digital singles in just 24 hours. It’s cool to see artists testing boundaries and finding new ways to stand out. The musician, Theis, start out with jazz and has kept evolving while also helping to support other emerging artists. On another note, there’s a story about a musician from Singapore who turned a big dream into reality. She went from playing small local gigs to performing on huge stages around the world, including with Conan Gray. It’s a great reminder of how hard work and persistence can pay off.

Let’s get on with it!

New projects + music we are looking for

In this blog, we want to share something interesting that happened in the music world recently. Brandon Theis, a musician out of Denver known for his blend of saxophone and electronic music, just set a Guinness World Record. On October 31, he released 200 songs in a single day. I think it’s cool to see artists find unique ways to leave their mark.
