Sounds Like NYC

By Sounds Like NYC

We are more than just a podcast.
We want to show what the NYC underground is all about. As New Yorkers, we have always been exposed to super talented artists and we always take it for granted.
We want to be able to share the stories and art of NYC. These people are the heartbeat that lifts this otherwise cold and busy city. We want to do our part and really pick at the minds of a New York Artist.
Although the artist hustles and grinds more than the average person, the NYC artist is on another level.

Let’s show what New York City is really made of.
