Hi, I’m Brian Lovin. I am 18 years old, a sophomore in college. I started The Kollection in June of 2010 to share the amazing music of upcoming artists that might never be heard in the top 40 playlists. With humble beginnings, The Kollection has grown to become the best college music blog in the world. We now serve songs to hundreds of thousands of people around the world, every single month, in an elegant manner.
The Kollection is the most professional, most aesthetically elegant, and most innovative music blog in the world. My goal is to push the boundaries of the music world by spreading amazing music to students around the world, for free.

I’m Condor a.k.a. Connor Gudal. I’m currently a Film Major at CU Boulder. The Kollection is a great way for me to share some of my favorite songs. Finding new and fun music that I truly love and having the ability to share it with all of you really motivates me. I’m interested in many genres of music all the way from dubstep to folk and everything in between. A few of my favorite artists are Kid Cudi, MGMT, Jack Johnson, Modest Mouse, and The Gorillaz. I always find myself looking up lyrics to songs and eventually singing along while I listen to them.
The Kollection is a great way to express how passionate I am for music and can be an outlet for those of you who are tired of hearing the same mediocre tunes on the radio. The Kollection is music for the rest of us.

I am a student at Baylor University studying Computer Science, I grew up in Dallas and lived there my whole childhood. Music has been a huge part of my life starting from when I was a little kid. I have liked everything from Country (I know, being from Texas you kind of have to at one point) to Rap to Rock to all kinds of EDM. I have played in a couple bands playing guitar and singing and I am currently working on my DJ skills. I go to a TON of shows, I try to see every noteworthy name in EDM I can.
I love music and writing for The Kollection lets me share my love!

Music has always been a defining part of my life. After being involved with a touring, internationally acclaimed choir growing up and surrounding myself with countless musical genres, I’ve come to the realization that music is an integral part of who I am as a person. During my college years on the California Central Coast, I had an amazing epiphany: I only see myself being involved in one thing after college. The Music Business. More ambitiously, I’d like to be a Music Supervisor for film someday (the person that gets to compile an awesome soundtrack). But in the meantime, I get to expose new, quality music through The Kollection, and I must say it is the most rewarding and exciting experience I’ve ever been a part of.
Lesser-known music that’s not found on the radio can really be quality music. This is a fascinating and exciting new concept for some. At the Kollection, we spread unique and truly inspiring music across the globe – and there is no greater feeling in the world than to help artists achieve greatness (and still retain originality!) by exposing their music. So much out there needs to be heard, and at the Kollection, I’m proud to say we accomplish that feat one track at a time.

I’m a senior at Rhodes College in Memphis, & I was part of the team that launched the Indie branch of The Kollection. I love almost all genres of music, but I am mostly drawn to indie folk/rock/pop. My “favorite” bands vary over time, but artists that retain a permanent position at the top include Rilo Kiley/Jenny Lewis, The National, Bon Iver, and Neko Case. I also particularly enjoy the twang of a banjo.
Because music holds such meaning in my own life, I’m a big believer in sharing what I think is great music with other people and vice versa. The Kollection is a perfect place to do just that, & I love knowing that we are giving recognition to incredible, unique artists who deserve to be noticed.

Yo! I’m a 19 year-old college student from Boulder, Colorado who loves all things music, kickin’ it with my friends and doing pretty much anything outdoors. My interest in music first started when began playing the drums in elementary school and has grown ever since.
Lately I’ve mostly been listening to electronic music along with some alternative rock and heavy metal, and also working on some of my own productions. I love writing for the Kollection because it allows me to share my favorite music with other people who appreciate it. Hit me up on soundcloud if you wanna hear some tunes. Peace.

Yo guys my name’s Max Chung. I’m 17 and currently live in Chicago, Illinois.
Ever since I was in lower school my love for music has been constantly growing. It started as a simple love – into a lifestyle. I like to DJ and am starting to produce my own original beats and tracks. My writing for the Kollection came to be from both my need to share music and my love for dubstep. But aside from all that bass music, I also listen to a lot of other music: Kid Cudi, White Panda,Wiz Khalifa, MGMT, Major Lazer, and Notorious B.I.G just to name a few.
Hopefully you all will enjoy my posts; lemme know with a rating or a like on facebook. Kollect on.

I am currently a full time employee at the Microsoft Store in Scottsdale, Arizona and attend Arizona State University. I love Dubstep, House, a little DnB… pretty much anything with a lot of bass that you can dance too. One of my favorite things to do is discover new music of any genre so this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.
