This Week in Music NFTs - August 22

Tycho, Heds, SongCamp, Water & Music and Venice. A look at emerging web3 music communities.

The Music NFT community is expanding.

This week alone - we saw LA meetups from SongCamp, Water & Music, Venice and Quantum.

SONGCAMP @songcamp_

Discord events are popping - 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 NFT Launchpad Freshman Class - marking the start of the first cohort of new artist’s journey into web3.

Long story short, there’s a space for everyone. Whether you’re an avid collector, a passive fan, an industry veteran or a curious beginner - these new pockets are yours for the choosing.

The web3 music community is a lot more educated than people give it credit for. So many industry veterans asking all the right questions. Only a matter of time before something clicks.

I’m hosting a web3 music panel with Afterparty this Wednesday in West Hollywood. RSVP here to hear from myself, Daniel Allan, Pinder and David Fields about how to make sense of it all.
