EQ Music launched in 2005 as a new pop music blog featuring fresh, emerging artists curated by Raj Rudolph and Mandy Rogers. Not satisfied with Top 40 radio, EQ Music’s mission is to discover relevant and inspiring new talent in the pop, electronic and indie-pop genres with a queer sensibility.

The mission was quickly embraced and EQ Music has emerged as a noted and respected music tastemaker with a devoted global audience of over half a million unique visitors per year, including interviews with the likes of Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Hurts, Robyn, Scissor Sisters, Mika, Dido, Sia, Imogen Heap, Steps, Róisín Murphy, Darren Hayes and Sam Sparro just to name a few.

Since 2008, EQ Music has also showcased some of the most exciting, new and relevant pop artists including Charli XCX, Christian Burns, Bright Light Bright Light, Dragonette, Betty Who, Dangerous Muse, The Sound of Arrows, Frankmusik and has programmed UK tours for Jordy, Zee Machine and Bentley Robles.

Today, EQ Music still serves its dedicated digital readership with their daily new artist discoveries, music video premieres and a dedication to showcasing some of the most exciting new LGBTQ+ independent pop artists making their early marks in music.
