Is NFT the new way of making money with music?

Firstly, my answer to that question is a resounding YES! The ideal concept of which the NFT wave is coming has all the potential of making it the new style for artists in the music industry to be able to make money from their records without the help of the record label or a middleman.

We all know musicians to be creatives genius, they make good music, and making good music takes a lot of time and process than we can imagine.

They put in so much work, and sleepless nights in the studio just to create good content for us to listen to, and most times for free.

Sometimes the record label makes it so difficult for some of these artists to do whatever they want to without restrictions.

But, NFT has come to bring a change to those hard rules of the record labels and save artists the stress of making revenue with their record label and believe me, every artist would probably want to have a bite of the NFT music content marketing.

Can I buy NFT music?

I’m going to give another resounding yes to that question. There are NFT sites out there where you can buy or sell your NFT. this includes music, pictures, audio files, 3d art, virtual land parcels and so many upcoming types of NFT eligible content.

Sites like Niftygateways and Opensea, just to mention a few, are mostly for digital NFT assets. Just one known NFT  site support NFT music for now, and that is Opulous.

Although more NFT websites are rapidly expanding their platform to support NFT music and they will be fully available for users in the nearest years.
