Our birthday week is here and what better way to celebrate it than to jam with some original Clapper musicians through our Birthday Playlist. The music feature allows our creators to find the perfect sounds for their content and some of those sounds come from Clapper artists who submit their music to make people smile and to get discovered. Instead of just highlighting the most used music on Clapper this year, we decided to highlight the local talent we have here on Clapper.
You may recognize some of these talented creators, so if you find someone new, don’t hesitate to hit that follow on Clapper. It’s all about showing our support for these amazing independent artists.
For this highlight, we asked Clapper artists what music meant to them and we got some amazing responses. We also took some quotes from special conversations we’ve had with these individuals that showcase their love for their craft. Let’s see what they said!

Music is our life. It makes us happy and we couldn`t live without it. We dove into a new world and it is a way to express our feelings and to dream. Good and bad ones. A way of transferring emotions through sounds.
