About this Article

Combining their love of music with their mastery of cutting-edge technology, two suburban natives have launched a music website that gives exposure to new bands while pitting them in head-to-head competitions. Lifelong friends Dan Arwady and Jim Skuros kept thinking about the next big thing. “I took a job, he got a job, but we'd get together once a month to discuss entrepreneurial ideas,” says Arwady, 25, who lives in Arlington Heights.
