As summarized by UPROXX, Discogs disc collection site reports that the amount of music released worldwide since the 1960s has increased approximately 7 times. And because of the way artists make money from streaming music services, that number continues to grow. Last year, 150,000 albums sold at least one digital or physical copy, compared with only 36,000 in 2000.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
