Instagram has just launched a dedicated music account.
The new @music account is the first such channel the image-based social network has dedicated to a single subject, and according to a post from Instagram founder Kevin Systrom, is “dedicated to exploring music around the globe, from those who create it to the community around it.”
The account promises to highlight well known and emerging artists, as well as music photographers, album illustrators, instrument makers and music fans. The channel will also try to encourage participation from the Instagram community with a “music-themed monthly hashtag project.”
To celebrate the channel launched with a profile of Questlove, which can be read at the Instagram blog. The @music channel can be found here, and make sure to check out FACT’s own Instagram.
