Esteban (Creator)

Born and raised in Los Angeles, but a long time resident of The Bay Area, Esteban Allard-Valdivieso has been documenting live music since 2013. Noticing a lack of accessible music magazines in Oakland and San Francisco, he decided to create his own in 2021, because everyone deserves to see great music photography.
