Our take
After the 2014 Taylor Swift Spotify scandal, the uproar for artist support and the fact that music shouldn’t be free created quite the stir. Sound is driven by the desire to connect listeners to their favourite artists and directly support them through Web 3.0 tools - the outcome being artists making a full-time living off their music alone.
As well as the support to help the music industry monetise assets, Sound is also an amazing space for fans to have access to listening parties, gain exclusive access to music drops and purchase song NFTs, entering the customers into interactive communities.
Sound’s vision for the future is ambitious - “we want to honour the value of music by giving a million artists the opportunity to live off their art”. NFT platforms can often be hard to connect to, but the human passion and message underlying the company's drive is one that is super appealing and attractive.
The idea has proved so appealing, in fact, that Sound has raised remarkable funding - the latest round of which included participants such as VC firm Andreessen Horowitz and big industry names like Snoop Dogg. The company will use this funding to expand its artist relations, engineering and marketing teams, as it opens up its platform to the public.
