Who pioneered it?
Document the artists, producers, DJs, musicians, engineers, labels and cultural movements that built the sound.
Before a genre became an industry, somebody had to invent the sound. PMN documents those innovators while creating a discovery, publicity, commerce and artist-acquisition platform for the people building what comes next.

Each editorial cycle begins with music history, but it does not stop there. PMN connects the innovators who created and transformed a genre with the artists, producers and teams carrying the sound forward today.
Document the artists, producers, DJs, musicians, engineers, labels and cultural movements that built the sound.
Identify the technique, technology, business model, performance approach or cultural idea that moved music forward.
Connect the genre to the communities and earlier musical traditions that made the innovation possible.
Show the lasting impact across recordings, scenes, countries, generations and adjacent genres.
Introduce the next generation and create a legitimate path into PMN discovery, music commerce and promotion.
Pioneers of Music is not only editorial. Selected artists can connect an approved track to the PMN Music Store, synchronized players, search, social, affiliates, widgets and the wider Creator Manager ecosystem.
For artists, managers, labels, publicists, producers and music marketers connecting music history to the next generation.
