Plot

The first season of MyMusic, a mockumentary, documented the antics of MyMusic, a transmedia production company.

The company claims to have been given the YouTube original channel, and has a documentary crew filming them day to day. The first season's events and plot were recapped by the Fine Brothers, prior to the second season. [4]
