It’s not about Drake. It’s about the next Drake. Music NFTs will have their moment. But it probably won’t be in the way that you think. Your favorite artist (today) probably won’t start minting Music NFTs anytime soon. There’s no strong case to do so (yet) and everyday fans of most major artists have not had a great relationship with NFTs more broadly. Instead, it’s going to be about the next generation of artists using web3 as a backbone. Fred Ehrsam @FEhrsam Crypto media's magic moment will...

Something felt different this week. The tides are turning and the music industry is waking up to web3. Fresh off a major Billboard article, I sat down with Daniel Allan live in LA to talk through what it means to be a web3 artist. You can read about it here. We kicked off the Music NFT Launchpad this week - starting the first of four weeks for the first cohort of artists gearing up to release their first Music NFT. Last week’s drops were some of the most impactful in weeks - with dozens of re...

Music NFTs are gaining momentum. From Daniel Allan’s Glass House to Hume’s Genesis Pass, this past week saw two sold out drops that moved the needle. Coop 💿 @Cooopahtroopa Congrats to @imdanielallan for selling 1000 Music NFTs as an independent artist. This was a huge undertaking and a major moment for the space. We like the Glass House Daniel Allan @imdanielallan I woke up this morning actually crying Within 24 hours of public mint, we sold out 1000 Music NFTs I asked my team to make this v...

Music NFTs became the topic of conversation around how artists should monetize using web3 today. To summarize - a series of Tweets spurred dialog from prominent founder, trader, and investor Cobie around the viability of Music NFTs. Cobie @cobie okay so instead of selling to the record label we sell to our 135 fans but instead of selling the rights to the songs, we keep those and we just sell them a token 3,267 9:36 AM • Aug 14, 2022 This sparked a wider surge of opinions from the web3 commun...

July is shaping up to be a pivotal month for Music NFTs. With major platform upgrades, premier artist drops and key membership passes - the ecosystem is quietly finding its footing. I published a post on web3 labels, giving an overview on what a record deals looks like and who the major players are to keep in mind. Coop 💿 @Cooopahtroopa Artists want to be heard. Labels help artists reach fans. Let's unpack a record deal and how web3 fits in. 496 8:08 PM • Jul 5, 2022 Everyone seems to be won...

Music NFT culture is alive and well. NFT NYC was full of music-focused events, with my personal highlights being the Music NFT Movement, wavWRLD, Music3, Venice, Culture Re-Mixer, CC0 Mixtape and Zoratopia. If you made it out to the Music NFT Movement - please DM me to claim a limited POAP from the event! BlockchainBrett @web3brett The Music NFT Movement event was incredible! Unprecedented levels of energy from all angles of Artists, Collectors, Founders, and Investors all building in the Mus...

Minting behaviors are changing. High stigmas around “dropping” Music NFTs are shifting as more artists are minting with less pressure. The most concrete examples are free and affordable mints on Zora’s new edition platform - highlighted by artists like Mija, Reo Cragun, Peter Saputo and Alec King. Coop 💿 @Cooopahtroopa Love this wave of free/affordable Music NFTs on @ourZORA @hi_mija @pjsaputo @bloodywhxte @glassface_ @ReoCragun @aleckingmusic Try it out - create.zora.co 53 5:12 PM • Jul 1, ...

Community curation is coming into the picture. Whether you’re a new artist, an emerging act or someone with an existing following - there’s a curator for you. This week I announced the Music NFT Launchpad - a way for creators new to web3 to mint their first Music NFT. If you know someone who would be a good fit, please have them apply here. Coop 💿 @Cooopahtroopa Introducing the Music NFT Launchpad A cohort of 10 artists brought together to learn about web3. All with the single goal to help m...

NFT NYC. You’re probably here. If you’re not - you know someone who is. Today is the second annual Music NFT Movement. If you want to see the source of web3 culture - this is where to be. Coop 💿 @Cooopahtroopa Music NFT Movement. Monday - June 20th. Bowery Electric. @imdanielallan @ReoCragun @headless_chaos @salemilese @aleckingmusic @cleareyesmusic_ Co-hosted with @web3brett Priority RSVP for Music NFT Holders 104 3:02 PM • Jun 14, 2022 I highly recommend showing up early - we’re going big....

The market is… not great. As someone who built their career during the bear market of 2018 - I promise there is a world of opportunity ahead. If you’re an artist, map out your survival plan. Recognize that it’s harder than ever to sell a Music NFT for 0.1 ETH. If you’re a collector, recognize you won’t see a return on your Music NFTs for a very long time, if ever. Free mints pose an exciting path forward. What if instead of treating every mint as a “drop”, we started minting for fun. What if ...

The Music NFT community is expanding. This week alone - we saw LA meetups from SongCamp, Water & Music, Venice and Quantum. Songcamp @songcamp_ 48 3:48 PM • Aug 18, 2022 Discord events are popping up - best highlighted by Sound’s second artist showcase and a newly announced Catalog Cook Off. Tycho launched his Open Source Community with Medallion as a free mint, allowing anyone new to web3 to access exclusive content and enter a merch contest using NFTs under the hood. We announced the Music ...

It’s a big week for Music NFT collectors. Drops are back in full swing, with leading artists releasing free and affordable mints left and right thanks in large part to Sound enabling self-uploading. Last week, we saw sold out drops from Reo Cragun, Ben Kessler, Peter Saputo, So Tuff So Cute and KINGSHIP - just to name a few. This week - I’m gearing up for Daniel Allan’s Glass House, a 1000 edition drop featuring a unique rarity schema to debut his new EP.Pair that with the Hume Genesis Pass a...
