Recently, I came across with a newly-established grassroot musical ensemble, called Mr. Before. I knew it since somebody recommended it on BBS. Same as other original and independent musicians/bands, Mr. Before popularize itself through Neocha, Tudou, Youku, etc.

Yesterday, Chinese young “creatives” (musicians, artists, writers, designers, etc) were under-represented by mainstream media and lack effective distribution platforms. Today, even there is no more Super Girl, they still can exposure themselves through social media and digital channels……
