100 decibels is enough to cover your ears in pain; 1000 decibels is enough to create a black hole; 1000000 decibels would be enough to cause a second big bang. 

​

Not to compare my blog to a cosmic event, of course, but outlandish pseudonyms aside - 1MillionDecibels is my own revelation. 

​

I've always had a passion for music just as much as I've had a passion for journalism, so what to do? The answer seems obvious. Unfortunately, it took me 17 years to figure it out, but 1MillionDecibels is the definitive answer to that question.

​

1MillionDecibels is impact focused: the music will always come second to the cultural significance or the artist's story. I could legitimize myself with my many years of musical experience, but frankly, musical appreciation is not about theory - it's about curiosity and adventure.

​

That is the purpose of 1MillionDecibels: to inspire curiosity in my readers. I want to bring intrigue, love, tragedy, and humor to the stories behind my favorite artists and albums. I want to ask questions and compel readers to do their own research and come to their own conclusions.

​

1MillionDecibels may be a music blog, but I hope to leave readers with far more knowledge than the music itself. Even I believe it is decidedly superior to listen to music than it is to read about it, 1MillionDecibels tackles this by not focusing on the notes of a scale, but instead on who's playing them.

​

Read, listen, explore; I look forward to sharing this journey with you - and let me know what you think!
