About Me
Hi, I’m Anthony Stirford, a 17-year-old music critic with a deep passion for albums, songs, and the stories artists tell through sound. I was born on July 23, 2008, and from an early age, music has been more than entertainment for me. It has been a language, a culture, and a constant source of curiosity.
My goal is simple but serious: to grow as a credible and thoughtful music reviewer. I focus on album reviews, track breakdowns, and music news, always aiming to balance personal opinion with fair analysis. I care deeply about production, atmosphere, emotion, and artistic intent, not just hype or numbers.
I created this platform to sharpen my voice as a critic, support both mainstream and independent artists, and build a space where music is discussed honestly and respectfully. Whether I’m reviewing a chart-topping release or highlighting a new independent artist, my approach stays the same: listen closely, think critically, and write with purpose.
This website is part of my long-term journey. I’m still learning, still listening, and still evolving but music criticism is where I feel most at home.
