Our Story

Our co-founders have always had a passion for music and entertainment. Many nights, they can be found at concerts or catching the latest hot show or movie. As an aspiring entertainment journalist (Will) and photographer (Amelia), it has been their dream to share those discoveries with others through words and photos. They are realizing that dream through ECHO, a new music & entertainment publication.
