Hello everyone, James from PSILY here!
Who am I?
I'm a Florida native who grew up with a New York family (cliché, I know). My father has owned his company for since he was 16, so I've been surrounded by business my entire life. I started off my "career" in tech with a small group of friends on a project called CreatorsCast. We garnered hundreds of thousands of page views and tens of thousands of loyal users per month - that was when I was 16. I’m the business guy, who just so happens to have a passion for music and a knack for creative writing. I'm currently enrolled at UCF with a degree in Business Management and a track in Entrepreneurship.
My perspective of PSILY:
From day one I said I don’t care if PSILY ever makes 1 dollar. It’s truly a labor of love, no pun intended. Pablo would hit me with tracks on the daily, and it came to a point where it felt like a waste that I was the only one who was able to hear these undiscovered masterpieces. With Pablo’s skill for spotting hits as an A&R, it only made sense to create this platform to send a curated playlist coupled with beautiful art and mesmerizing descriptions. It just so happens that our issues go great with a cup a coffee to start the day. Everyone says the best ideas come from not searching for ideas, this is one of them.
I think Pablo covered the formalities; if you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message or tweet me @JamesGuerne.
As always, have a great week!

I listen to PSILY every week on Spotify. Great list -- I usually end up listening to it more than Spotify's Discover Weekly list.

Hey guys, Pablo, one of the curators/founders here!
A little about myself:
I'm a 20 year-old artist manager/designer/independent A&R born and raised in Berlin, Germany, a tech hub for music, where my father worked closely with the (then) young companies Ableton, Native Instruments, SoundCloud, etc. 2 years ago, after high school, I moved to New York City and designed for a while, keeping my interest in music purely to being a listener. After exiting the tech industry, I took a break about a year ago and started up a management firm where I managed mainly Rap/Pop acts. I now run a management firm out of Brooklyn, head an independent label/studio/music group, and still A&R for various clients/labels in the music industry.
About PSILY:
PS I Love You was created out of my consistent spamming of songs to James, and, when I was too busy to do so, he would constantly ask for "the next big thing" or "must-listens", so he didn't have to filter through Spotify playlists where each track has already been played multiple times on the radio. With PSILY, we try to select 15 tracks that are underneath 2.5 million streams (although occasionally tracks are so good we just add them anyway), and a lot of tracks that we selected were at 2.5m before we posted the playlist, we now have 8 tracks which, after posting these playlists, blew up to anywhere between 7m to 35m.
The Format:
PSILY is a playlist available on Spotify and SoundCloud released every Monday morning at 8am EST that has 15 tracks, of which the first is always considered a "Featured Track", a track that we discuss in depth, one artist out of the playlist is always featured as a "Featured Artist" to help promote the artists that we're showing.
