ABOUT ME

Martin Gerge Nilsson

I have been listening to music for as long as I can remember, picking up influences and great music where ever I go. It all started with my father, who got me into music from the very beginning, and his taste in music has naturally influenced me too. However, later on, I often found new stuff for him to listen to.

Born in the south of Sweden about 46 years ago. Family of five, including a wife and three children between 5 and 13 years old. Most of the time just keep my wife and myself alive. Apart from listening to music and working! I like to hit balls. Tennis or golf doesn’t really matter.

I have really very little to complain about in life. However, for some years now, I've really thought about the music landscape and the fact that music comes too easily to us through streaming services. When I grew up you bought records for your hard-earned money, and you had to make decisions and evaluate if you could afford that new CD each time. Today it's all there, for everybody, at any given time, which is fantastic in one sense.
But on the other hand the choices are too many and people get lazy and turn to lists made up by algorithms. Hence, despite having" everything" at their disposal, people nowadays tend to listen to the same shit all around. I believe this to be very boring, but I'm sure people are missing out most of all, on life. And that's where my idea for the MGN algorithm got started. I genuinely believe that I can help, and until proven otherwise I'm going to give it an honest try.

Furthermore, If I succeed, this will mean that more artists will be able to get attention in this world of generic horse shit of music. Maybe we will see breakthroughs that weren't even possible before. I know, I'm dreaming (and full of hybris), but wouldn't that be great? They are totally unknown artists that have been scraping by for ages, and finally, they get some well-deserved attention and appreciation. Anyway, that is my vision of the MGN algorithm.
