What Are NFT’S

NFT’s are also known as Non-fungible tokens that can be publicly and cryptographically verified. This proves that holders of these have the right of ownership of these digital assets. NFT’s holds different values depending on the underlying asset the NFT represents. The assets can be worth millions like digital art pieces and even tweets!

It’s the scarcity of the underlying asset that allows high price points to be reached.

Why Musicians Should Look into NFT’s

With musicians already earning an income by selling things like merch, limited releases, appearances, and shows, NFT’S allow them to be able to have ownership over and sell an original file vs just owning copyrights over a song or image. This opens up many new and creative ways to make money.

Many musicians during this time are selling their own songs as NFT’S and making millions overnight with this method alone. Music Artist Producer Jacques Greene, an underground electronic music producer, recently sold the rights to his new single Promise and animation for around $20,000 although it was sold, it is still able to be streamed for listeners, but the digital rights to the actual project now have its value as being sold as an NFT.

NFT’s can also help musicians have income for years to come by being able to get a percentage every time their NFT’s are resold, which makes these transactions more lucrative.

Musician’s Power In NFT’s

Many think that NFT’s will cause problems for record labels as the power may go back to the musician as they’re the ones earning by letting auctioning go on for having these digital rights to such things as songs, records, and merch instead of a percentage of music sales going to the record label as well.
