Once upon a time, musicians relied on record sales to make a living. But as the music industry evolved, so did the revenue streams of artists. With the emergence of live performances, merchandise sales, and streaming services, artists now have more ways to monetize their craft. And with the rise of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), artists now have a new avenue for generating revenue.
For those unfamiliar, NFTs are a type of digital asset (often tied to art, music or other creative works) that are verified on a blockchain. This means that they are one-of-a-kind and cannot be replicated or forged.
Recognizing the potential power of NFTs, Tuned Global and Revelator have teamed up to help artists sell NFTs via music platforms.
NFTs offer several benefits for artists:
However, selling NFTs is not without its challenges. For one, the process can be complex and technical, which may deter some artists. Additionally, there is a learning curve for both artists and fans who may not be familiar with NFTs or blockchain technology.
Tuned Global is a music streaming and technology company that provides white-label streaming services to businesses. Revelator is a blockchain-based platform for managing digital assets, including NFTs.
Together, Tuned and Revelator are partnering to help artists sell NFTs via music platforms. The goal is to make the process as simple and user-friendly as possible for both artists and fans.
According to Tuned, the process will be as follows:
With this partnership, Tuned and Revelator aim to make it easy for artists to sell NFTs, while also providing fans with a new way to support their favorite artists.
While the partnership between Tuned and Revelator is still in its early stages, there are already several examples of artists successfully selling NFTs.
For example, electronic musician 3LAU recently sold an album's worth of NFTs for $11.6 million. Each NFT was tied to a specific song and included exclusive bonus content, such as unreleased tracks and access to VIP experiences.
In another example, musician and producer Deadmau5 sold an NFT for $6,000 that included exclusive rights to a one-of-a-kind digital art piece and a VIP experience at one of his shows.
These are just two examples of the potential revenue-generating power of NFTs for artists. With the partnership between Tuned and Revelator, even more artists will be able to tap into this new revenue stream.
Here are three key takeaways from Tuned and Revelator's partnership:
As the music industry continues to evolve, it's clear that artists need to be creative in finding new ways to monetize their craft. With NFTs, artists have an opportunity to offer fans something truly unique that cannot be replicated. And with Tuned and Revelator's partnership, the process of creating and selling NFTs is becoming more accessible than ever.
