| Jamie joined the Wikia Community Development team in 2014. She is a Music Historian, Ethnomusicologist and pop culture fiend. She's worked with arts organizations like the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Smithsonian Folkways, The Kennedy Center and bands like Pomplamoose and The Family Crest. As a trained singer, she can also be found harmonizing with the ladies of Conspiracy of Venus. When not singing, she can be found falling into a YouTube time suck, reading Harry Potter (again) and watching anything on HBO. Feel free to drop her a line, especially if it’s about a band you’re really into!

| Michael joined Wikia in 2013, and is currently helping out with the Gaming side of things. This makes sense since he's a hopelessly addicted gamer who's been playing and writing about games as far back as he can recall. He loves music, automobiles/motorcycles, Earthbound, Dark Souls, and dark liquors. Enjoys making people laugh and disseminating funny links amongst the world.
