"From language and fashion to music and humor, TikTok has revolutionized the way we live our lives. This is no secret to the TikTokers who eagerly approach the platform to forge a sense of identity and belonging. In Musicking TikTok, Bermúdez masterfully unpacks this phenomenon through detailed analyses of how these TikTokers cultivate and perform identity, ultimately creating musical practices that have reverberating effects far beyond social media. * Trevor Boffone is the author of Renegades Digital Dance Cultures from Dubsmash to TikTok * In Musicking TikTok: A Musical Ethnography from a Glocal Austrian Context Juan Bermúdez presents a multi-perspectival ethnography of popular TikTok music focusing on musical practices in digital spaces and on digital stages. The author explores in a very elaborated way the strategies and (virtual) performances of TikTokers becoming experts in developing a TikTok persona. This analysis provides new material for a much better transdisciplinary understanding of the integrity of digital and analogue performances and representations and of its crucial meanings for constructions of musicking and identity today. Therefore, this journey into the glocal worlds of TikTok is a deeply compelling read for interested fans, journalists, teachers, and especially researchers. * Christoph Jacke, Professor of Popular Music and Media, Vice-Director of ""C:POP - Transdisciplinary Research Center for Popular Music Cultures and Creative Economies"", Paderborn University, Germany *"

With thorough and thoughtful engagement, Bermu´dez shows how core ideas in the discipline can offer a useful roadmap for new questions. The book models a method for examining digital music worlds, in ways that invite future scholarship and prompt classroom conversations. * Byrd McDaniel, Assistant Director of Student Development, Brown University, USA and author of Spectacular Listening: Music and Disability in the Digital Age *
