J. Edward on Bandcamp’s foundational goal to support artists financially and connect them with fans.
"Bandcamp exists because we want artists to be paid fairly for their work.
And also on the other side of that, we want fans to be able to support the artists that they love directly."
-J. Edward Keyes
