This Week in Music NFTs - June 13

Steady lads. MintSongs, Wobblebug, Bored Brothers, Angelbaby and more. The movement doesn't stop.

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 there was no “release date”, no marketing campaign, no Twitter Space, no making a big fuss.

Mint Music NFTs for fun. Not everything needs to be a major "drop". It's ok to not sellout.

Just mint it.

Put music out there for curators to discover. If we want to make it through the rough, it has to be fun.

Because realistically - no one is making a million dollars overnight anytime soon.

But - if you stay consistent and look back two years from now - I think you’re going to be very happy with the results.

Remember who believed in you before anyone else did.

I’ve never been more proud to say I work in web3.

To say I get to spend my days supporting independent artists and finding the next superstar.

This movement is a real force of nature - and you’re right at the source.

A few weeks ago I had the best listening experience of my life.

Yours is right around the corner.

Keep going.

Community Spotlight - Arjan Writes

The legendary pop curator Arjan Timmermans has been putting a spotlight on the Music NFT movement with his newsletter - Arjan Writes.

Arjan Timmermans @arjanwrites

(1/4) In the past few weeks, I've talked to many artists to learn more about music NFTs to understand how these digital music collectibles are a way for artists to build deeper connections with fans and unlock new creative opportunities.

He’s featured NOTD, Kaien Cruz, Peter Saputo, Alec King and Ben Kessler - just to name a few.

He brings an amazing perspective as someone who’s truly seen it all - and it’s all available to digest, completely for free.

Keep up the great work - Arjan!
