This next phase of music tech is taking opportunities for artists way beyond promotion and small royalty payments. AI-generated music is directly tied to distribution and revenue.

Last year we discussed Blockchain and Hip Hop; now let’s turn to the other category of blockchain projects: token economies. Here lies a unique angle and market which can help independent music artists unlock new financing opportunities, without having to sacrifice their ownership rights and contract rights, including control of future royalties to intermediaries and recording companies. Token economies recognize and reward fans for coming to the stage and utilizing services. Tech This Out’s panel will explore and examine how artist will be able to sell tokens to fans directly in order to raise funds for creative projects.
