In this episode, Taral Gurung, founder and CEO of Soundbeats, shares with us a groundbreaking platform at the intersection of AI, music, gaming, and Web3. Taral’s journey from finance student to serial entrepreneur is anything but ordinary. From launching an education center in Hong Kong to working on metaverse initiatives for Bollywood award shows, his story is filled with resilience, reinvention, and vision.
We explore the motivations behind Soundbeats and why the current creator economy is broken, and how blockchain, NFTs, and AI can empower both artists and fans through co-creation and ownership. Taral also dives deep into the platform's mechanics: gamified music experiences, AI-generated songs from photos, creator monetization, and their thoughtful approach to building utility-first music NFTs.
