He was the composer, sound designer, and engineer for the podcast series Timestorm (2022 Anthem Awards Silver Medal; 2021 NJ WebFest Best Family-friendly Podcast; 2020 Webby Awards Honoree). Under the Cocotazo Music label, Michael has produced his two solo releases Giants Will Fall (2015) and City Stars (2017) and three compilations Puerto Rico del Alma (2017), Stuff This in Yer Face (co-production with You Don’t Know Jersey 2018), New Year | Año Nuevo (2021).

Alice Magdziak is the press lead, bonus content host, and co-producer of Songs on Site. Cooking, eating, travel, and history have been her passions since childhood. In 1993, a tarot card reader she visited on a dare told Alice that she would be famous for something later in life. It took almost 30 years to see it happen, but being recognized around New Jersey for promoting small businesses, local music, and state pride isn’t so bad. Ed brought Alice to New Jersey in 2000 and she’s never looked back. Her non-NJ eyes see the Garden State in a unique way and she’s learned to turn around her Midwest upbringing and really lean into those Jersey hugs.

Dania Ramos is the story editor, script writer, production manager, and co-producer of Songs on Site. She was the creator and head writer of the award-winning audio drama series Timestorm. She currently writes, hosts, and co-produces NJPAC On the Mic, an audio resource for the New Jersey Performing Arts Center’s SchoolTime Performances series.

Modern Crybaby is the emo music brainchild of New Jersey singer-songwriter and producer Dylan Schroth. With a heavy heart and a hopeful smile, Dylan Schroth sings about his experience with depression, anxiety, growth, and recovery, hoping to inspire others on a similar path. Dylan writes music for the modern millennial whose teenage angst grew into adult anxiety.

Ed Magdziak is a co-producer, blog writer, and series photographer for Songs on Site. A Clifton native, he has spent his entire life exploring all the best that New Jersey has to offer, usually with a camera at his side. Instead of telling just family and friends about his finds, he decided that the whole state should know about all his adventures. You Don’t Know Jersey was born. An accomplished writer, he has been nominated for multiple Asbury Music Awards in the category of Top Journalist in Support of Live Music. He has also been known to enjoy a great hot dog.
