Musiqtone.com Bio: Alan Ho is the chief head and chief editor/publisher and the current interim regional head of both the Pacific/Southwest and East Coast regions at Musiqtone.com, an online music news & media outlet following the departures of Stephanie Mora and Spencer Abbott. He founded the outlet as MusicMania, which began life as a project for his freshman English class at Indiana's Purdue University with fellow classmate and original co-founder Peter Burke. During his reign at the top of the MusicMania masthead his top accomplishments included a then key relationship with now-defunct company CDigix, a then digital entertainment firm that was doing business with his alma mater and ushering in coverage of the indie and underground which helped form the basis of the present-day Musiqtone.com

On February 8, 2005, Ho singularly changed the name of MusicMania to Musiqtone in an effort to transform the music site into a future music news & media outlet. His current accomplishments to date include launching You Gotta Know, which includes proud alums such as Curtis Peoples, The Academy Is, Sarah VonderHaar. and the indie flagship feature's most accomplished alum, Honor Society. He has also forged relationships with much of the major record labels and their press departments as well as creating relationships with some of the top public relations firms representing some of the top music talent in the industry.

He is a perennial point person for Musiqtone.com's coverage of Warped Tour and has seen time on The Hot Seat at venues like Charter One Pavilion and Park West in Chicago. He is also a key point person in The Critics Corner, which is his forte and original craft before creating Musiqtone.com.
