Hello, My name is Donnesh and welcome to my blog. I'm an amateur writer and De Anza college student, with a huge passion for music. The Bay Area is a treasure trove of rappers, producers, indie bands and singers, with a lot of hidden gems waiting to be found. From Oakland to Berkeley and San Francisco to Silicon Valley, I'm on a mission to find the most interesting, undiscovered bands and venues, I think are worth checking out. Each week I'll be writing a profile on a different group or artist that really catch my attention, featuring a bit of their background, where they've played, and upcoming performances. From time to time I'll post notifications on future festivals and music news so stay tuned for tour dates. Thanks for reading, I look forward to getting this started!
