For the Record is a conversation series where we speak with all manner of music heads — DJs, music journos, indie label captains, record shop owners, listening bar kingpins, et al — about their stories + the music that makes them.

Kaitlyn Davies is a Canadian based in Lisbon, where she works and collaborates at the forefront of music and technology. She explores this nexus through research, facilitation and community organizing alongside her co-founded collective CO:QUO. She's the Membership lead @ FWB and she does Curatorial Partnerships @ Refraction – both of which are prominent culture DAOs, or decentralized autonomous organizations. She also hosts radio shows on Refuge Worldwide and Cashmere Radio.
