Don’t just take our word for it…
“ Sound Off! is... an opportunity to get a lot more vested in the music community that’s around you. If there is anything that Sound Off! has done incredibly powerfully is set up young folks for finding each other and for building not just networks, but communities that define the music scene in Seattle.”
—Cameron Lavi-Jones, King Youngblood
“ As a byproduct of participating in Sound Off!, i///u was able to play the stages at Bumbershoot and NW Folklife... to have an in studio session with KEXP.... And then I think of all of the other stages – like Neumos, and Showbox. It’s been a storybook for us and we can’t be more appreciative of the MoPOP and Sound Off! team because having won gave us that a-ha moment. Like “woah, this is really cool! We should just keep playing music.” And that’s what we did.”
—Scott Elder, cofounder of i///u
