🎵 Helping the music industry enter the #NFT space @ ACOY | Podcast Host @ Digital Punks - Der Music NFT Podcast

How I went from broke musician to helping 100k+ music pros with AI.

I was that kid with a guitar & big dreams:
↳ Started in a garage band at 15. 
↳ Toured the US & Europe.

Lived the highs & lows of the music life. 

After a number of years working in the music industry, I consulted for global brands like Porsche, Lufthansa, Goodyear, and L'Oréal. 

Later, I helped my mom become a bestselling author.

But I never forgot the musician's grind:
↳ That's why I built The AI Musicpreneur.

To help music pros leverage AI for success. 

A resource I wish I had when I was struggling. 

Now serving over 20,000+ musicians, producers & industry professionals monthly, including readers from Warner Music, UnitedMasters, AWAL, Cooking Vinyl, and more. 

My journey taught me success is about helping others.

🎵 I wish  #NFTs existed 10 - 15 years ago.

I have practically been a music nerd for all my life. 

I used to play in various bands and as a solo artist as well as worked for record labels, organized festivals & managed up and coming artists.

I consider this experience very precious and am thankful for the opportunities I received.

I got to play in Los Angeles on Sunset Boulevard and toured the entire US.

Ranked up over half a million plays on Myspace (Yes, Myspace did exist back then)

Got featured in the biggest Rock/ Metal magazine in China.

And was on German TV.

Why am I telling you this?

It sounds like that could pay the bills right?

It didn't. AT ALL. It was a +- business.

Independent artists without much representation have it hard. 

Music piracy did not help at the beginning of the century.

And the model of streaming pays independent artists unfairly.

Along came COVID and seriously threatened live music and musicians.

Music NFTs taking off (in the next few years) feels like a resurrection for the music industry to me.
 
🎸 For independent artists NFTs could provide an opportunity to connect with fans in unique ways.

NFTs are not a get-rich-quick scheme, it needs work, but it could enable artists to make a better living than now.

You don't need millions of streams on Spotify, but maybe only a few hundred devoted fans that invest in your journey and see you grow.

💿 Record labels, publishing agencies & more can use NFTs to offer new experiences to music lovers.
At the same time creating new income streams could also mean that more investments go into up and coming artists long-term.

It puts a little bit of the power back into the hands of the music industry.

I've seen artists disappear over the years because they ran out of fuel at some point (financial wise).

Wouldn't it be great to experience live music and at the same time know that the artists performing can provide for themselves and their family?

Let's create your future together.
