Our take
Warner Music Group (WMG) is a music and entertainment conglomerate that operates in more than 70 countries through its network of affiliates and licensees. As one of the “big-three” recording companies, it is a leader in the global music industry.
As the company looks forward to the future of music and technology, it has been focusing on its Web3 expansion within the Metaverse, creating new partnerships with a growing number of blockchain platforms – including The Sandbox, OpenSea, and OneOf. WMG is also expanding into gamification and is set to enable signed artists to release music NFTs through the Polygon-based marketplace LGND Music.
With the appointment of tech veteran and former Chief Businesses Officer at YouTube, Robert Kyncl, as its new CEO, WMG is further proving its dedication to breaking into the future of Web3 in an all-encompassing way, and it is well set to replicate its “real-world” success within the metaverse.
