A note from FM4FP Founder, Mona M.

My name is Mona Magno, though some in the creative community know me as Monalicious.

I started FreeMusicForFreePeople in 2013 and have since been continuously exploring different artistic ways to support and cultivate the Denver creative community. With that said, I haven’t done this work alone. Throughout the years many have joined our team and offered their talents and passion to strengthen our work and vision.

The Denver Underground is our newest project, which we hope serves as a yet another platform for the creative community to be celebrated. I think it is important to express that although we strive to tell exciting stories and spotlight inspiring people within our community, we fully acknowledge that there is no way for us to know of every amazing project or person contributing to the robust Denver scene. We hope artists and creative folks feel open to reaching out to our team with new stories and ideas - we want this publication to be interactive and inclusive.

I personally would like to dedicate this new publication to the Denver creative community. To those who have been building up this scene for decades, to those who are currently contributing to keeping the fire alive and to those who have yet to make their mark. May this project serve as a continual reminder that you and your work are worthy of being celebrated!
