NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESSWIRE / April 18, 2022 / Country artist Sammy Arriaga sold over $250,000 worth of his first music NFT's, selling out his collection of 1500 METAGIRL Digital Hearts in less than two months.
"It's safe to say web3 is the best thing to ever happen in my music career thus far. Ever since I immersed myself into web3, I've been reignited and re-inspired. I never thought that being introduced to web3 would impact me and my music career so greatly," said the country artist.
Owners of a METAGIRL Digital Heart receive a digital collectible of Arriaga's web3 love song ‘METAGIRL' embedded into a 3-D art piece of an anatomical beating heart. The NFT itself serves as a key into a token gated experience which grants holders access to Arriaga's exclusive recordings, merchandise, music videos, interviews, in-person performances, pre-sales for future projects and more.
"NFT's are bringing back value to art of all kinds and reigniting creators to pursue their passion without fear by allowing them to retain ownership. We're so early in this space that it feels like we're in a renaissance," said Arriaga. "I'm humbled to be an early adopter."
The independent country singer is one of the first artists bringing web3 to the forefront of the Nashville music scene, and is empowering other artists to explore the space as well.
"The time for the independent artist is now. I don't care if any label out there doesn't think you have ‘star quality.' No one should ever do this with the mentality of being signed or becoming famous," stated the Miami-born singer. "Artist friends: We have no excuses now. We have all the assets we need to make this happen. Get to work, quit bitchin' and share your art. You could be sitting on a goldmine and you don't even know it. Thanks to the power of web3, we're going to be able to amplify the music experience by bringing back the old school ‘Fan Club' and sprinkling the future on it."
