I've been lurking this subreddit for a while, and now that I've officially joined, I thought I'd start off my time here with something fun!

So, I want you to tell me about your favorite concert experience! Who did you go to see? How old were you? How did you discover the musician? Did you go with anyone else? What role does this artist play in your life? The more details, the better; I'm totally fine with reading a long reply.

I'll go through everyone's responses and pick one winner, who will receive a CD or cassette of their choosing that is under $15 before tax (vinyl is alright as well, but I know it's hard to find one in that price range). Prime shipping is preferred.

To be eligible:

• Have at least one CD/cassette/vinyl under $15 on your linked wishlist
• Be engaged in the subreddit! I'd like to reward people who are active members of the community : )
• US Only

The giveaway will end on Sunday at midnight EST, and I'll pick a winner the subsequent morning (5/18)! Have fun with your responses!

(An additional note: I'd like the value of the winner's item to come to around $15, so if you have, say, two $7 CD's, I would get both of them for you!)

Heya! My name is Olli, and I'm an independent illustrator raised in Minneapolis, MN, and currently residing in Pennsylvania. I'm in my early 20s, and a big goal of mine is to begin doing creative direction for musicians (think merch, stage design, MVs, etc). In the meantime, I design fan-made merch for BTS and 5SOS, as well as work on separate exhibition projects to enter into local contests and find places to display publicly.

Music and art are probably my two largest passions, and have been ever since I was a young kid. I've been playing drums since I was 8 years old, and can also (quite poorly, haha) play some guitar and bass. I was in the choir as an elementary school student, although our song choices might not be what you'd normally think of- lots of Macklemore and Bastille. I spent 4 years playing percussion in my school band/orchestra. As a teen, I was in a lot of art contests and got 6 Scholastic Gold Keys for my paintings/drawings and photography.

I have 3 animal babies: twin orange tabbies (Jasper and Juniper, 3), and a Minipincher/Chihuahua mix (Fletcher, 7).

My favorite musicians right now are (as mentioned previously) 5 Seconds of Summer and BTS, as well as &Team, and Racing Mount Pleasant. Some of my favorite shows right now are Young Royals, 연애 지상주의 구역 (Love for Love's Sake), 이게 맞아?! (Are You Sure), and Outer Banks.

Some of my hobbies include ice skating, creative writing, and language learning (would eventually like to be a polyglot; currently know some Portuguese, ASL, Korean (actively studying), Finnish, and Spanish). I'm a big concert-goer and am very active in my favorite artist's fandom spaces.

I'd love to chat, so feel free to AMA!
