Music NFTs
There's a revolution taking place for art and music on the blockchain. The people, culture and community being built around this new technology is hugely empowering for musicians. Thanks to the ability to verify ownership and origins of a digital, tokenised version of ones art we can trace the journey between creator and owner .
A stream is intangible, an mp3 file is replicable infinite times over ,whereas a Music NFT cannot be replicated in the same way due to the nature of the blockchain. Suddenly your digital song and artwork have a verified provenance on the blockchain. It opens up worlds of opportunity between fans and artists, allowing musicians to identify their biggest supporters and communicate with them more easily; reward them for owning certain NFTs. For fans, collectors and community members it provides an immutable asset that they can trade or perhaps use to gain entry to extra perks and experiences if such things are offered by the project founder.
Perhaps you just want to look and listen, like walking into a museum and admiring the work at a distance, or perhaps you want to be the owner and curator of those works? In a sense, that's what the blockchain offers, you can start turning your digital support of artists into something closer to collecting a vinyl, buying a painting or even having a digital history of the gigs you went to and the year and time you started directly supporting an artist..

Meet Me on the Lake
'Meet Me on the Lake' might have been one of the first music collectibles to be played on BBC Radio! Thanks to the Roddy Hart show for shining a light on the NFT and to the collectors for supporting the track's launch on streaming.
This was the first NFT to come from Emma Miller, released as a rare 10 piece collection. The artwork is hand painted by the singer's mother, Lesley Miller.

In the Smoke
Selling out in under 30 seconds, this was Miller's first song on the web 3 platform "soundXYZ" back in November 2022.
The song is an etherial and slightly unnerving track written from the perspective of a woman trying to break free of the routine and path she's on.
Intricate, percussive production by Lucas Mendes

December
At the end of 2022, this limited 60 piece collection was the biggest drop to date for the Scottish artist and represented another step towards her work reaching a new web 3 audience.
'December' is a sweet, acoustic song that captures the feeling of winter and storytelling.

I.T.S (Eligh's Version)
Joining forces with LA hip-hop legend 'Eligh', the pair created a charity single in aid of the Hawaii Community Foundation. The song was released as an open edition, selling over 370 copies and raising $3000 for the charity.
Eligh's interpretation of 'In the Smoke' is most definitely worth more than a few listens!

In the Bleak Midwinter
The debut collaboration with fellow UK music pioneer, Josh Savage.
Covering a traditional Christmas Carol, the song was recorded at Josh's home studio in Berlin. The duo mapped out a piano part and began building harmonies and vocals together - all whilst streaming the studio session to some of Josh's top community members, who were part of the action.

NFT NYC - Main Stage 2023

This year you can find her playing on the TokenTrax stage during the conference and hosting a private show for holders of her Artifacts Music NFT in New York this April alongside friend and peer Violetta Zironi.
