Let’s get to know the faces behind musicube. First up is Maria, former musicube-intern and student of systematic musicology in Hamburg.

Maria, what is your job at musicube?

I just finished my internship at musicube, where I got to look behind the scenes and got to know the process of a start-up. My work included checking on the AI, tagging songs and doing editorial work for the website. Now I’ll head back to university, where I’m studying systematic musicology.

What do you like most about working at musicube?

What I liked most about working at musicube is to work in a team that follows such an interesting vision. This, of course, meant to think and talk a lot about music.

Tell us three fun facts about you that we would never have guessed:

1. Before my studies I did professional training in the tourist sector
2. I watched “Rocketman” at the movie theatres ten times.
3. When I was younger, I did not put up posters of boy bands or girl groups, but of wrestlers.

Name a song…

• ...whose lyrics you know by heart.

• ...that reminds you of your childhood or youth.
  Wes - Alane
• ...that gets you on the dance floor.
  Philip Bailey feat. Phil Collins – Easy Lover
• ...you would take with you on a lonely island.
  Phoebe Bridgers – I Know The End

Stay tuned, as time goes by we will introduce more and more colleagues from the musicube team. In the meantime, you can listen to the songs Maria mentioned in our Spotify playlist.
