We’re a small group of music industry professionals who suddenly found ourselves without work in March 2020. We come from diverse backgrounds—we’re musicians, production staff, communicators, and visual artists—and are united by our shared love of music.

‍In light of our industry’s uncertain future, we decided to look for ways to help. DSTNCE Media was born from the desire to ensure financial viability for our music community and to provide access to viewers’ favourite local and national acts while distancing measures are in place. Our name refers to the context we’re operating within. It also reminds us that physical distance does not necessarily mean emotional distance. We’re invested in creating ways to feel close while we remain apart. ‍

We’re passionate about building thriving music communities through technology. Livestreams are one of many experiences we intend to offer. We firmly believe that, when used well, technology can bring us closer together than ever before. As our industry continues to adapt and change, we want to be on the leading edge of the evolution taking place. We’ll be out there—or in here—building the future of music that we wish to see. We hope you’ll join us in this new and exciting place.
