About Us

Hi there, thank you for visiting Mozziki!

My name is Josh Melander, I am an amateur musician (heavy emphasis on the amateur part ๐Ÿ˜‰). More importantly, I am a lifelong music enthusiast.

My earliest memories of selfdom are hearing music I liked (Queen, Tom Petty, Abba), then finding more like it. I index towards pop music, I love seeing the creativity and direction that musicians take the art form. Lately, I’ve been into jazz though, oddly enough, for the same reasons!

I started Mozziki because music has been the ultimate spice of my life – from enhancing the most mundane parts of my day (ahem, chores), to facilitating wonderful experiences like traveling with friends to see our favorite band.

My mission is to encourage music participation in the lives of as many people as possible.

But I couldn’t do it alone…

Along my journey as a music lover, I have met all kinds of people that share the same love, but have engaged with it in their own unique way. Whenever possible I bring them in to share their experience, expertise, and joy for music.

You can meet them all below ๐Ÿ‘‡
