The world is on fire! Literally! The music industry has never seen a spark like this before. Join us as we celebrate Demo Magazine's 19th Issue: Ignition, where our writers and staff talk about the rapid resurgence of the music industry in the post-COVID era.
It's awkward and it's clunky getting back into it, but thank god we're moving again. This issue's theme, "reanimation," documents the restoration of vigor and zest into an otherwise stagnant pandemic-era music industry.

Each year, with each new batch of contributors, I’ve been introduced to entirely new artists that I may never have encountered otherwise thanks to the unique tastes everyone brings to the table. Perhaps one of the most valuable things about the Demo community is our willingness to share our discoveries and experiences with one another, and with you, the reader.
Demo has helped me realize one thing this year: music connects everyone. Demo meetings are administrative and brainstorming sessions that double as hang-outs; after the meeting has been adjourned, contributors instantaneously dissolve into questions and sharing...
I’m excited about the content that we’ve put together. The cover story explores musicians who take on new personas on stage (watch out for Zoo Owl – he’s going to take over the world). You can read about what makes a good album cover, why musicians are increasingly signing on to score movies, and whether musicians should be considered artists or entertainers.
Until I joined this magazine, I never considered myself a true music lover. I have no idea why – I have been playing piano and any other instrument I could get my hands on since I was a child, and I have always felt uncomfortable in silence when there could be music playing...
