Introducing 'D-Constructed'
Where music fandom and cool critique merge
Right Time, Right Place
Hello Substackers!
My name is Donovan Roche. I have covered music for more than 30 years, with my work appearing in national and regional outlets including Entrepreneur, The San Diego Union-Tribune, San Diego Reader, and Times of San Diego, among others. Since debuting my music magazine, SLAMM, in 1994, I’ve talked about launching my own music website/blog. This again came up in conversation recently and my friend said, “You should start a Substack!” And so D-Constructed was born.
Breaking it Down
I have always been a music fan – and I think that appreciation comes through in my writing – but as a journalist, I’m also committed to being objective and pointing out what I don’t care for and why. D-Constructed will break it down for you, as I cover the music industry, what’s hot and trending, breakout artists, band interviews, concert and album previews and reviews, and more each month.
Exclusive Interviews to In-Depth Features
Like most Substack writers, I’m offering D-Constructed readers both a free and paid subscription. The free version will cover ample ground but for those who want more curated content that you won’t find anywhere else – from exclusive interviews to in-depth features – I encourage you to upgrade to paid.
Either way, I appreciate you as a reader and subscriber, and I welcome your feedback.
