this is what the contract looks like for the NFT
what if all music contracts were this simple and didn't require hiring a lawyer just to understand?

let's make contracts visual and clear to understand.
here is the contract that lives in the metadata of the NFTs that I listed today.
this is an evolution of the first music contract I designed.

at some point i wanna share more about the similarities between building products & creating music.
i really don’t think i’d have a music career if i hadn’t gone through building products first. it gave me a process for iterating and releasing things.
Finding out the electronic music artist I've been listening to nonstop recently used to be a product designer at Facebook is breaking my brain

@acfreedmanlaw what if we made stupidly simple contracts? 1-3 page constraint. no superfluous language allowed. the more visual, the better.

Thank you all for listening to this one. I wrote it about wanting to pursue music full-time so it feels fitting that this is my first song to reach this milestone 🥺

a friend just sent me this — people started cheering when I Just Need came on
it gave me chills. it’s not just streams on a screen or friends supporting us. it feels beyond us.
it feels real.

one of my goals this year was to have a song hit 1M streams. "In the Leaves" just hit 4M
this was a completely independent release. i put this out through @venicemusic a little over a year ago
thank you to everyone who's listened. it means more than you know ❤️

I wrote “In the Leaves” about a dream I had before I decided to quit my stable, full-time design job.

got to have an interesting convo about music nfts w @AutografMusic @Cooopahtroopa & @Yung_Spielburg (@water_and_music)
my fav advice from it (@Yung_Spielburg) — don't wait on an invite to a platform just to get started. don't let anybody dictate when you can or cannot create.

i love looking at this data. i've seen more streams from Spotify playlists like Discover Weekly than any editorial playlists. and my most streamed songs haven't even been playlisted.

i noticed that my song jumped up in streams and the only thing that's changed is that i did a @soundxyz_ drop for it yesterday + the presale the day before
i wonder if Sound brings in more listeners? 🧐

I'm working with @createos to build a tool that lets anyone create a simple, visual agreement like the ones I've made.
It's been awesome seeing the response of the contract and it's clear that artists need tools like these to better visualize their rights & ownership.

The music NFT concept that I’ve been dreaming of is here. There are 4 NFTs within this collection.
They all unlock song ownership in the @AutografMusic remix + an experience.
