ME & me

luke50yen is a statistician based in New Zealand who suffers from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).

Since moving away from full-time work due to my condition, I’ve decided to dedicate more of myself to discovering what others are creating. I have a particular interest in discovering artists who are still trying to capture a consistent audience with their sound or who are trying to capture a specific sound that’s meaningful to them, regardless of audience retention. Throughout my journey I’m hoping to grow a better understanding of the complexities within hard-to-reach online music scenes and the niche sub-genres that foster their growth.
