Hey! My name's Ani and I administer many different aspects of this mag. I enjoy a wide variety of music genres such as hardcore, metal, pop punk, and punk rock. I don't think I could live without Spotify, my Nikon, or my Ernie Ball Music Man bass.Â

Hi! I'm Dustin and I'm the co-founder of Mainstream Magazine. I take photos, occasionally write, and I enjoy new age pop punk as well as some funky alt rock. In my opinion, The Maine is a God Tier band.

Elias Ramirez-Croman (They/Them)
Writer
It's ya boi, Elias. I'm based in South Minneapolis, where I've lived my entire life, and that music scene is a huge part of who I am. I grew up listening to everything from Weezer to Justin Timberlake, and my music tastes are even more varied today. My favorite bands include Silverstein, Waterparks, As It Is, and Chase Atlantic. I'm incredibly lucky to get to join the awesome Mainstream Magazine team. When I'm not writing for MM, I enjoy going to shows, writing and producing songs, following politics, and exploring the Twin Cities.
