What is the World Of Series?
World Of is an independent music publication exploring the people, stories, ideas, and creative worlds behind the art.
Through interviews, artist profiles, project deep dives, origin stories, and other long-form features, the publication will go beyond the finished product to look at what shaped it: the experiences behind the work, the choices made along the way, and the worlds the creators hope their audiences will not only enter, but make themselves right at home inside.
