What is To Be Discovered?

There are all types of music out there, and there is definitely something for everyone, but there are certain artists who are set apart from the rest. Just about every musician has passion and love for the industry, but my favorite artists to listen to and get to know are the ones who are trying to make it- the artists who are busting their asses to be heard. That’s a different kind of passion. It’s those musicians who work these jobs to support their dreams and those musicians who never give up. Those are the stories that excite me. Those are the artists I am looking to discover.

My love for music started at a very young age. It all began when we would take rides in my grandfather’s truck and listen to good ol’ Jim Reeves. Over the years, my taste in music has broadened tremendously, but my roots originate from musicians, like Eddy Arnold, Skeeter Davis, Ray Price, and more.

Why interview artists?

Simple- I LOVE MEETING NEW PEOPLE. These artists have incredible stories to tell, and getting to know the people behind the tunes we jam to every single day is where the true significance lies. I don’t claim to know much about music theory or the mixtures of genres, and blah blah blah. But think of the interviews this way- just some old pals catching up at 2am while having a few drinks; this is my direction for To Be Discovered. Sure, we will talk about music and the meaning behind it, but I want to ensure artists feel seen and understood beyond just the music they write. 

If you want to share music with me and/or schedule an interview, feel free to e-mail me, Stephen Melchor, at ToBeDiscovered92@gmail.com or shoot me a message on Instagram. It’s all about sharing the tunes and discovering the people behind them!
