DME stands for Dmitry M. Epstein.

I am a Canada-based rock journalist (and an ISTQB-certified QA Analyst for that matter) who has the opportunity to be “in” the thing, working with musicians not only as a writer but also – sometimes – as a manager, co-producer and lyricist.

And, of course, this is the place to say a loud “Thank You” to all the artistes without whom this site wouldn’t be there, who found the times for taking the interviews duties, sending their music in and, above all, making MUSIC – THANX, GUYS!
