The plight of the independent musician has been well documented. Faced with a driving passion to present his craft, stymied by lack of funding and ample resources, many never reach the coveted pinnacle of acclaimed recognition. Dreams deferred, these artisans are left in self doubt and devoid of fulfillment. In a most unorthodox fashion, one man has singlehandedly given the "Unheralded" center stage. DJ Come of Age is a pioneer,a phenom whose vision became a concept all its own. In simple terms, find music which is beautiful and promote it as one. Without boundaries and strained classification he allies himself with stellar, soulful artists from the world over. As a collective of musicians, producers, DJs, poets, and models, the promotion of their works is shared by all.
"Our love for the music is impetus enough. It's something we live and breathe. In the same way we collect and cherish, we long to share and be heard. The energy once used to "compete" with others is now used to constructively establish ourselves. It's much easier and beneficial to uplift one another than waste time being negative and vain. The key for us was to target outlets willing to give us an ear. The foundation was already established with each respective fan base so it was easy to grow from there."
