RE: Hive needs professional music artists
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
As a professional musician, here’s what I think is really needed:
A Real Spotify: We need a streaming platform without bots and fake plays—something where every stream is genuine and truly reflects listener engagement. It should also have the capability to sell music NFTs, giving artists another way to monetize their work.
A Better SoundBetter: A platform like SoundBetter, but without the "pay more, get more work" system. It should be a fair space where we can connect with studios, session musicians, artists, and dancers for collaboration—kind of like Fiverr, but for music.
A Global Festival Directory: A single platform that lists music festivals around the world. It would make it so much easier to find and apply to festivals that match our style and goals.
A Metaverse for Media Organization: A virtual space where we can organize and showcase our media, including music, videos, and NFTs, in an immersive environment.
Right now, I get 100% of my online work through Instagram, but having a platform that combines all of the above would be a game changer.
Some of these tools need some major investment and development. There are various teams developing projects on Hive, but I'm not sure any of these is coming soon. We used to have a Soundcloud equivalent, but it ceased ages ago.
