I’m Salty Crayon — curator, signal booster, and the slightly unhinged engineer behind UpBEATs, a Sunday‑morning music ritual built for people who love discovering artists before everyone else catches on.

Every other week, I dig through the noise to bring you a hand‑picked lineup of independent musicians, genre‑benders, and sonic weirdos worth turning your volume up for. Think of this space as a mixtape with a pulse: part discovery, part storytelling, part “how did I not know this artist existed?”

I’m also the guy who occasionally breaks his own audio chain, fixes it at 3 a.m., and comes back with an even better show. Glitches happen — but the music never stops for long.
