It goes without saying that one of the most important aspects of being a creative is the ability to build and nurture a community. These creatives don’t just capture a feeling, they push it, using their work to evoke deeper emotions, spark connection, and leave a lasting impression on their audience. Creative works play a vital role in building community, bringing people together by sparking shared experiences.

Soundfynd, Into Records, For The Speakers, Daymond, and ibreathemusicallday all share a common goal: using music to connect with their audiences, each in their own distinct way. Soundfynd builds community through music curation and collaborations with other curators, sharing insights and highlighting emerging artists. Into Records presents a visually appealing, minimalist platform that showcases artists with clarity and style. For The Speakers keeps audiences engaged with frequent updates on the latest happenings in music. 

Daymond and ibreathemusicallday have cultivated strong personal connections by creating short-form content that instantly resonates with their audiences through their unique personalities. Together, these examples demonstrate how music can serve as a powerful tool for building community, bringing people together, fostering engagement, and creating shared experiences around a common passion.

Outside of music, Jon Perdomo creates content centered on plants and the importance of greenery, connecting with a wide range of audiences. Gabby Le emphasizes the power of cinematics, producing short-form content about her work and life that feels highly relatable. Cal Surplus builds community through their Haight Street store while keeping audiences informed about clothing updates and in-store offerings.
