"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."
- Bob Marley
Our Story
The Universal Story was founded in 2018 by a group of musicians, music journalists, and industry professionals who shared a common passion: to create a space where music enthusiasts could explore and learn about all aspects of music and musicianship.
What began as a small blog written by a handful of contributors has grown into a thriving online community with readers from over 150 countries. Our mission remains the same: to inspire, educate, and connect music lovers from around the world.
We believe that music is more than just entertainment—it's a universal language that connects people across cultures and backgrounds. Through our articles, interviews, tutorials, and reviews, we aim to celebrate the rich diversity of music and the incredible people who create it.
