Music is everywhere and Local Sound is a full stack web application that helps music lovers find it. The main feature of the site allows users to generate a playlist of local artists top songs . It is designed to discover and stimulate local music scenes, recommending smaller less known artist rather than popular artists. With rural and international music lovers in mind, the site guarantees a playlist for everyone. The best part is that you get a new playlist every single time! All it take is a simple refresh. In addition, to this Local Sound allows for both Users and up and coming Artists to sign up and join their local music scenes. Listen to the Sounds local to you, or anywhere in the world.

This project was built with a Flask sever framework. There is a SQL database that organizes and connects Users, Artists, and Locations connected through relational tables. SQL allowed for easy quering so that filters artists based on specific locations and then pulls information from the spotify API, using Spotipy (A python wrapper for this API).
My orginal seed data was based on a data set created by Xristos Katsaros. He is data scientist from NY that was doing a maping project with artists. Artist location data was the missing piece and his dataset was the perfect jumping off point for my project.
