I'm shy AF!! So I can't sing in front of people!!But my mom heard me sing at karaoke and in the house and I'm really good at what I do for a living BUT she said: why can't you quit doing what you're doing & just start singing professionally!! Err, money, mom! I actually get entire songs in my dreams like beats lyrics & tunes!! & I wake up immediately & try to record what I remember. This is such amazing info!! God bless you!!
I do not understand one thing: what motivates a supporter to purchase an NFT? Cant he just listen to the music on Spotify? What the use of somebody having a music NFT?
Why do people want Autographed pictures of celebrities? Look at it as 1) pride of ownership 2) fandom in action 3) investment potential (nfts can be sold on open market. Scenario: unknown artist releases album nft, say 1000 copies selling a $10. The artist blows up and the nft token is now trading at on open sea for $50 Ra.
Question: I have paid for the compulsory / mechanical license to produce a cover of a song. In some cases there is a license to sell physical CDs … including music subscription downloads (we no longer are responsible for licensing music streams for cover songs). My question is this: as a SRO (sound recording owner as outlined by SoundExchange) … can I sell percentages (1% to 100%) of my cover song as an NFT? Brother Reggie - Stafford VA
There is a lot of legal gray area with covers and NFTs. Me personally, I'd stay away from it. Or I'd do a lot of research to ensure I'm not breaking any laws.
Thank you very much for video, just a quick question. How can I sell my online course, which is 14 GB, and I want to sell 10k copies ? How can I upload or send the NFT buyer to my course ?
So if you are selling a song or ep, album collection do you half to say how many copies are available say 1,000,000, as an artist i want to sell more than 1 copy, gas fees sound expensive limiting desire of purchase?
what if i want to make a cover for a popular song and sell it? would there be any problems with copyrights and outside the scenery that might interfere with the selling?
Let's suppose I have an album with 10 songs ready to make a NFT collection out of it. 1st question: Do I have to sell single songs to a single person/buyer or can I sell it tu multiple buyers ? 2nd question: Do you think that I could sell all of my songs as NFT and still offer this album to a label ? Do you think a Record label would still be interested into releasing this album (if they like it in the first place) or would the NFT ownership To 3rd person's be an issue for the label ?
each NFT is an only copy but you can have numerous NFTs and also you aren't selling the rights just that particular NFT and record labels arent anything like they used to be. You would make more selling your music in the metaverse and social media... seriously... since there are no longer records, cassettes, and CDs the record companies only make money on social media too and merchandise which you can do yourself and not sign your life away to the record company who may even just shelf you somewhere if they rather promote someone else. Good luck!
@@luisamarquez5735 I already have a local label that is signing with me song by song. But I have the freedom to sign with anyone else since I have an album that would not be interesting for the local market but very much for a UK or Netherlands label and listeners. So I am still thinking about releasing my album as NFT but at the same time (since I would not sell the rights) I would offer it to a record label the classic way and negotiate the terms I would like to have in terms of promotion. Just I am unsure if they would understand the NFT ownership that would belong to someone else. (Because a standard label contract usually has a paragraph about they taking the ownership of the master recording of the song ... But this is not the NFT ... since they own the rights. So actually they should not care about the NFT at all. But now another question is arising. What happens with the songs that I released already. Can I sell them as NFT even though they are already released? And am I allowed to do that if I actually have signed with the existing label that the master is actually their belonging.
@@mcbdllc136 you did not understand the questions. I know that I can do what I want on the blockchain but will a label afterward like the fact that I have minted my songs and still sign with me ?
Copyrighting is always a good idea, but unless you explicitly transfer the rights, it’s still yours. Selling a limited edition recording is different from selling the master recording and its subsequent rights.
NFTs aren’t the music or other content, they’re just a unique serial number that points to an existing piece of content. Think limited edition with a serial number on it. Anyone can buy the album, but there’s exclusivity in buying one of the few that has a serial number printed on it. In this case, the serial number isn’t even embedded in the content, it just points to it. So more like buying a slipcase with a serial number printed on it which also says “herein lies a unique copy of [name of album or artwork or whatever]” to put your record or cd or artwork into. Or like a serial numbered stand to display it on. Or something like that.
@@MikyungSungBass i agree but i got thinking if an nft investor sees the exclusivity of it they are more likely to invest and they share it out in the world on their terms. Streaming. Sharing it in all ways thats resonates and how they want to monetize. So it might still reach your fans but not necessarily directly from you. If understand correctly the blockchain tech would allow that unique identifyer to bring back all the activity of the song and its monetization back to thepercentage you aggreed upon when it was released as an unique nft....
@@tomdupreeiii HI Tom, the next question arises, is it possible that the original creator of the music decides to sell another copy as an NFT later on? Is it legit?
@@aarondiaz7384 i mean making an nft based on the physical card... so when buyers buy...they get the physical card as well....my question is how do we turn the trading cards to nfts ?
Why would I sell NFT music that is streamable? At least standard steaming sites are paying a portion of a penny on some platforms by the time you get the money. Seems like NFT is going to take out the artist completely, exept for people that want the original NFT. But they may just want to stream the NFT only and we all lose.
Hi, I appreciate and admire your videos, you have a great way of explaining. Here I need your help as i have created and mint my gif and add it after adding my gif it gives another box down there for "preview image" here I am just adding any jpg image and proceed but when I click on create (I select polygon) an error comes "content_type cannot be application/octet-stream". I can't figure it out why is it so? Its because I didn't pay gas fee or what. but when it comes to jpg image its fine no error, only gif or video has a problem. please let me know why is it?
Technically you can. There's nothing stopping you. However, you'll likely undermine your reputation as a creator, which will prevent people from buying your tokens in the future. So much of the scarcity is built on trust.
@@tomdupreeiii man that is so cool you take the time to answer your fans🙏hey did you end up getting some bids and selling some of your NFTs? Open Sea has the one flat fee for $57 but I saw Foundation App is another good marketplace but charges a gas fee of around $100 but has higher bidders...what do you think...seems like Open Sea is the less stressway...
If you post your music for sell as NFTs, does that mean you can no longer keep that song or recording on RUclips, Spotify, or SoundCloud? Is there a way to be able to sell the song as an NFT while also being able to keep the song on streaming services
You can sell an exclusive version of your music on NFT and a normal version on all streaming service. As long as you have provided this information in the distribution, you’re good.
veyr interesting, Tom, subscribed your channel. Gonna try that marketplace out! And anyway, NFTs are the future of music and in general of any digital item, it finally can a media like music the value it deserves.
I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Thank you for saying so. I feel like I'm still sort of taking a chance with the crypto / music hybrid content, so I really appreciate the positive feedback!
@@tomdupreeiii totally get that man! it's for sure pretty out there for most people right now but I think it's a Brilliant decision and it's gonna help so many musicians if they choose to get into the space and learn about it now. you got my support all the way bro!
Great - many thanks!!!!!!!
No problem!
Thanks for the update 💖
Any time!
Thanks Tom for info.
You bet!
Great vid bro
Appreciate you!
Did make money or coins?
Hi, can i ask whether we can sell cover songs as NFT or is it has to be original creation?
I personally wouldn’t try to sell covers. Only original music.
@@tomdupreeiii great thx!
🤘
🙏🏻😎
how can i set the price of my song on opensea ?
Hi Tom. Do you stand in any relation to Robbie Dupree? Just curious.
No, I don't know who that is.
I want to know how to transfer the NFT Currency into my personal savings bank account
I'm shy AF!! So I can't sing in front of people!!But my mom heard me sing at karaoke and in the house and I'm really good at what I do for a living BUT she said: why can't you quit doing what you're doing & just start singing professionally!! Err, money, mom!
I actually get entire songs in my dreams like beats lyrics & tunes!! & I wake up immediately & try to record what I remember.
This is such amazing info!!
God bless you!!
If I am music creator and for example I have created a song
can I sell it on opensea and after that upload to itunes ?
I do not understand one thing: what motivates a supporter to purchase an NFT? Cant he just listen to the music on Spotify? What the use of somebody having a music NFT?
Thats where the physical product comes in link merch or rewards to the nft
Why do people want Autographed pictures of celebrities? Look at it as 1) pride of ownership 2) fandom in action 3) investment potential (nfts can be sold on open market.
Scenario: unknown artist releases album nft, say 1000 copies selling a $10. The artist blows up and the nft token is now trading at on open sea for $50 Ra.
Cool video! If I make one copy of an NFT song, is that the only person who will have access to hearing the song?

I think the better move is to sell access to your course as an NFT instead of the actual course files themselves.
@@tomdupreeiii Is it possible ? I have been trying to figure it out for really long time how to do it, can you teach me ?
what are the best markets to sell music as nfts right now? is open sea the best? or will we have to do our own promo to drive the traffic to my nft?
How to create an nft music account ?
Btw
...subscribed to your channel
How can you sell a whole album ? Do I have to upload all songs from the album in single song form ?
What if the beat to my rap is for lease only? Can I still sell it as NFT?
Man, that's definitely a gray area. I probably wouldn't just to be safe. You could run into trouble.
You have to review the terms of your lease agreement.
Good day.... please am a musician from Nigeria I want to get this Nft music started fully, I want to work with you and learn
So if you are selling a song or ep, album collection do you half to say how many copies are available say 1,000,000, as an artist i want to sell more than 1 copy, gas fees sound expensive limiting desire of purchase?
Can we sell our music on spotify and as nft on opensea as well?
Yes, absolutely!
what if i want to give the rights to use the sample, or use it as a beat lease kind of like beat stars? How would i go about that?
so basically i can just include a contract that specifies what the rights to the file include
Just put the lease agreement as the terms of nft. It's a wrap.
Question - I have a song as a NFT. I want as many people as possible to have it and listen to it. How do I do that?
what if i want to make a cover for a popular song and sell it? would there be any problems with copyrights and outside the scenery that might interfere with the selling?
good question I want to make a 15 second video with a popular song as an NFT can I do it??
What if you want to transfer some part of the rights?
Great video my man thank you!!
Can’t believe I made it here before 1 million views 😯
That's what's up! Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Who else here hoping they can get lucky and sell one of their beats for some outrageous price lol 😆
