Our guest today on the pod is Seefood, whom I’ve known since our days as traders on Wall Street. He is now known as a community advisor, builder, and monitor for Admit One and brands such as Adidas and Prada. We'll be discussing our lives as traders vs web3 founders and what lessons we carried with us.
Today we have the anonymous, decentralized music artist, omgkirby, on a mission to revolutionize how music creation and distribution are approached. Driven by issues plaguing today’s music industry, in 2020, he set out to test a hypothesis: Can they create incredible, and valuable, generative music that people want to own the IP and rights to?
In a 2 year span, he has released a successful generative music collection, partnered with the likes of Jaden Smith, and built a DAO, granting fans membership along with ownership of each song’s masters and publishing rights.
He’s here today to discuss AI’s use in his creative process and take me up on my challenge to see if he can create a new theme song to this podcast in only 5 mins.
