About Us
Founded by Music Lovers, For Music Lovers
Ed Gomez started Expand Your Playlist in 2015 with a simple mission: give independent and up-and-coming artists the exposure they deserve. Frustrated by mainstream outlets ignoring incredible talent, Ed built a platform where musical quality matters more than clicks, views, or label backing. Today, EYP features 30+ artists monthly across themed playlist series, creating a global community of music discovery. From unsigned bedroom artists to emerging bands, we celebrate musicians who pour their hearts into their craft.
