X Li joined Sound with a bang this week, becoming the first artist to receive over 3,000 mints on a Sound genesis drop, topping every Sound chart for the week with new track “think i’m in love with you.” 80s synth ear candy and acoustic guitar create a carefree atmosphere for lovesick lyrics to dance with youthful nostalgia. “My heart is beating, I am falling. Think I’m in love with you” muses X Li while contemplating the urgency of expressing his true feelings.think i'm in love with you...

New funding is flowing into web3 music.
Arpeggi and RELICS announced rounds this week - both of which I was lucky to be involved as an angel (Arpeggi) and as Coop Records (RELICS).
While it’s a small signal, we’re moving away from the experimentation phase to the maturity phase. Companies are taking their products and communities to the next level - a different tone from the last 6 months where everyone was taking their best guess as to what would stick.
Slowly - the story of this new chapter of web3 music is starting to take form.
We’re witnessing an entire generation of artists finding their voice with web3 at the center - a telltale sign of a new wave of culture that will carry the space forward.
Still, we have a lot of work to do.
There’s a consistent narrative in LA. Artists are getting out of their label deals and looking for a new path forward. The prospect of being independent is exciting, but web3 isn’t quite at the spot where it can entirely replace an artist’s every need.
It’s up to us to show that there is a new path. And that it isn’t only for tech or business savvy individuals.
Continue to support emerging artists.
Keep contributing the conversation and building out new playbooks.
Music has inherent value.
We’re on the cusp of an extremely pivotal chapter for music that is right around the corner.
Here’s what it looks like this week.
Web3-music DAW Arpeggi announces a heavy hitting seed round.
Metaverse music platform RELICS brings in backers for Season 2.
Mint Songs announces its next chapter with a note from the founders.
HedsTAPE 08 is announced with Medasin at the helm.
PlayZero partners with CryptoBrokers for their first virtual artist.
Ben Kessler makes an original track entirely using Arpeggi.
I joined Water & Music for a nuanced discussion on investing in artists.
