As OPUS and the excitement surrounding the platform is growing, there is an increasing need for someone to bridge the gap between the team of programmers working on OPUS, the OPUS community, and the artists. My name is Philipp Siemek and I am excited to join the OPUS team as Community Manager.

First, a few quick words about me: I am Polish, but I currently reside in the United Kingdom. The experiences I gained working in Human Resources for University of Warwick will be applicable to my work at OPUS, where I will also primarily be responsible for communication. I wanted to be a part of the OPUS team because I believe in their mission. The music industry is too centralized, and the founders of OPUS have found the perfect solution to this problem. It is time for up-and-coming artists to get the opportunity to reach a wider audience and monetize their work sooner, with OPUS providing this opportunity and revolutionizing the music streaming industry.

My role is to make sure that OPUS is an open community, and so I will be posting regular updates on the development of the platform on this blog and various social media sites, including Facebook and Twitter. Furthermore, I will also be taking over all communication via Slack and Telegram, so please direct any questions and queries you may have at me, I will do my best to answer them as quickly and in as much detail as possible.

We will soon be moving the development of the platform to Poland, where a highly skilled team of programmers will be working to make OPUS everything it set out to be. This will be a very exciting time for the community, and I will keep you posted on our progress. I hope that you are looking forward to all the amazing things we are doing as much as I am.

On a side note, I really look forward to a year from now when, hopefully thanks to my work, I will be able to listen to my favourite artists on OPUS ;)
