#159 - hate5six (Sunny Singh)

We have Sunny Singh, also known as hate5six, for this one. Most
hardcore fans know him for popping up at shows across the country
with a camera in hand but he has also made a huge impact on the
community as a whole. Ever since Sunny decided to leave his
full-time job, he has made a pact with himself to push even
harder with the new year. This year's goals currently sits at
1,000 recorded sets, in which Sunny was way ahead of schedule
when this episode was recorded. What makes hate5six so honorable
is that he's willing to give new bands a shot. Someone can send a
simple message over social media and Sunny will be in the
audience that night. There are countless bands that will
contribute quick success to a video that the hate5six name
releases of their set. It's a one man project but Sunny releases
at the speed of a company of 100+ employees. Since the beginning
the goal has been to help bands find an audience. The channel has
always been accessible to newer and younger bands.  


 


Hard work always seems to pay off when someone has a vision and
is willing to put in the time. That is what happened to Sunny
when he was asked to jump on the most recent Rage Against the
Machine tour for select dates. Sunny had the opportunity to
continue to build his name while watching one of his favorite
childhood bands return to the stage. Sunny is someone who speaks
up about topics that matter dearly to him. He wants to use his
platform to educate his followers with the research he conducts.
That mindset falls back to his early days with Rage Against the
Machine. They opened the door for speaking up for yourself and
creating clarity for a large population.


 


This is a project that demands endless hours. Sunny is the
definition of "perfectionist." Some would believe that he is
filming at a faster rate than most people can consume, but Sunny
is beating the odds. His page is closely watched on a daily
basis. Sunny is careful with his edits, but the end result is
rewarding. These videos are timestamping music history.
