They’re everywhere, lurking in the background, strutting their stuff on SuperBowl stages, eking a crust on street corners. Yes we’re talking about those most loved and abused people, musicians. Whether they’re teaching, performing or just waiting for their big break, musicians are a vital part of any culture and because of that they deserve a place of their very own.

Musomap is a clever map mashup, which combines social networking and some sharp back end tech to let musicians find and share their wants and experiences with others. On one hand it’s a great place to find like minded souls, maybe to form a band, or do some recording. On the other it’s an easy to use messaging and chat app, where musicians can hang out and shoot the breeze.

Where else could you find someone like New Yorker Dotan Negrin, who’s been pushing an upright piano around the US for 2 years? Or Godfrey Mboira of Kampala, Uganda who plays brass and harmonica? It’s global, it’s brilliant and we hope it grows and grows.
