‘In the Smoke (Eligh’s version) is the debut collaboration between Scottish singer-songwriter Emma Miller and legendary LA hip-hop artist, Eligh.
With personal ties to Hawaii, both artists have decided to dedicate this drop as a fundraiser for Maui with all sales going to the Hawaii Community Foundation.
You can pay with credit card or crypto via sound.xyz to own an edition of the song. Each edition costs under £10 and acts as your donation – you can buy as many editions of the song as you’d like to, until the sale closes on September 20th.
After this sale closes all primary funds will be withdrawn and sent to the elected organisation: the Hawaii Community Foundation.

In April 2023, I was part of a panel discussion on Music NFTs along with my peers Josh Savage, Violetta Zironi, Sammy Arriaga and Rae Isla. We discuss the power of community, how utilising the blockchain can give unprecedented access to music lovers and activate their support and why the music scene in web 3 is so valuable.
Follow the other artists on Twitter and check out their Music NFT collections on OpenSea.
Fully independent, releasing music across the blockchain and beyond.
Seemingly one of the only artists in Scotland to be distributing her music as ‘digital collectibles’, Emma’s journey into the web 3 music scene has seen her travelling the world, talking at conferences and performing for her community of supporters far and wide. Miller has discovered the power of going solo and finding her niche and in the past 12 months she’s successfully launched the largest Music NFT collection in the UK, ‘Artifacts’, which sold out in May.
Prior to championing the blockchain and the music revolution taking place there, the Scottish musician cut her teeth in London where she gained a first class honours degree in Songwriting, released her first songs as an indie act and began selling out shows in Scotland as a solo artist.
