The multi-platinum music producer bringing web3 music the masses Nov 29, 2022

Show notes

In today's episode, we speak with the incredible TommyD.

Tommy Danvers AKA TommyD has had a wildly successful career in the music industry. He’s a multi-platinum award-winning music producer, a songwriter, and a DJ. On top of that, he’s the creator of a whiskey brand (8O8 Whisky) as well as Tokentraxx, a company leading the way in web3 adoption in the music space.

We discussed this in a fascinating interview where Tommy shares his experience of the industry's inner workings and how web3 technology will play a role in its future.

While there’s still a long way to go until we see mainstream adoption, Tommy’s explanation on how web3, and more specifically, NFTs, will change how fans form relationships with their favourite artists and become even greater advocates was an eye-opener for me.

If you’re interested to hear what the next phase of evolution within music might look like, tune in for the full interview.
