Musiqtone is an online music news and media outlet that covers a broad spectrum of music, including both mainstream acts and the vibrant indie and underground scenes. It highlights unsigned artists and lesser-known discoveries while providing music videos and regular features. The site features three flagship series: Spotlight on the Musiqtone Blog, You Gotta Know, and The Countdown, along with other recurring segments such as Artist of the Month and Video of the Week. Based in Chicago, Illinois, Musiqtone was founded on September 22, 2002 by Alan Ho and Peter Burke, Purdue University students and Chicago-area natives, who launched the venture as MusicMania, an 'accidental' class project. Today it operates as a small-scale enterprise within the entertainment providers industry.
