#### **Peace Steemit!**
I've been part of the Steemit community for roughly 9 months now, blessed to learn a lot in here and still learning!! I networked with amazing people throughout my journey Steemin also learned about lots of amazing communities in here and became part of some.

Since I joined Steemit community I learned that our community consists of major talents and top-notch artistry. However, when original quality music is posted, the community often misses the opportunity to experience the phenomenal creativity of this music and artistry, which lead me and a group of like minded Steemians to start some initiatives to empower and support the music community and supports some other amazing projects is happening in the community.

#### <center>**Here's a quick summary of the many initiatives and community projects we got going at the moment, I recommend you to check each out and if you dig it get involved and show some Love, Kudos!**</center>
