The journey of ProMusicDB could not exemplify working and creating in the modern era more. Beginning with a question as to how and where to get her own touring and recording credits onto known "industry" sites, Christy looked to her professional music colleagues and organizations for answers. What she discovered was that there really was no entity of authority in charge of this area—for capturing, curating, and maintaining accurate music credits for both commercial and historical significance. Not really believing this was possible, she asked long time musical colleague Brian to reach out to the library community to see how they handled this problem, and was shown an even graver scenario—the library community had no coordinated system of authenticating and documenting musical performers of its own, and internal reference resources of music credits for music students were limited.
