Welcome Steemians! You're now tuned to Steem Music Alliance.

Steem Music League (SMA) is a community-based network platform that connects musical creatives, as well as, music lovers. We offer the opportunity for people to engage, collaborate, and grow.

In the SMA Discord channel, you'll have access to invaluable resources, live radio programs, and many more exciting features.

Founded by Hive account@seveaux, Hive account@chiefmappster, Hive account@macchiata, SMA initially had 3 core goals to achieve:

To bring together people with interest in music-related content.
To create opportunities for SMA members to develop and establish initiatives and projects.
To develop a strong authentic community.

Now, that we've achieved these goals and set a solid foundation, it's time for SMA to advance to the next phase.

And to kick off phase 2, we've got a grand announcement.

Steem Music Alliance and DSound (Hive account@dsound) have partnered to develop the "DSound Community Initiative". Thank you DSound for your generous support!

If you produce music and/or looking for music created by Steemians, DSound is your primary platform and source where you can upload and share your music. Click here to visit their site.
