The Music Industry and the World of NFT’s

I’ve been approached by some leading figures within the World of Blockchain Technology and the world of Crypto Finance to advise and help introduce and manage many new inititiatives in this space and I plan to share my opinions and experiences here.

This is a very fast paced world and it represents a great many exciting opportunities some less obvious but more financially profitable than hitherto thought and it is a great many of these that I propose to be able to share with you in these pages in the forthcoming weeks, months and years ahead.

The Convergence of Blockchain Technology and the worlds of Music and the Arts presents some of most exciting developments funding wise for the Arts hitherto never been seen before, and the financial ramifications of these should not be misunderstood.” 

Though the world of Crypto may be seen to be suffering from a slow downturn in other words a bear market correction, the opportunities the worlds of what is now referred to as “Decentralised Finance” offer to the monetisation of Music and the world of Copyright is truly amazing.

With Bitcoin off its recent highs by some 15% the Crypto world is correcting itself at the moment but this should be viewed as partial correction. Any fears the world may have regarding the affect the world of Crypto may be having regarding Climatic Issues is now being redressed by newer “greener” initiatives. 

The bottom line here is that with the new funding opportunities that Blockchain presents, these have brought along some exciting opportunities.

Hoping to share some of the ol’ Donald Malter Experience and Brain cells

I’d like to bring the wealth of experience garnered over some 35 years and make it available for the benefit of the next generation of music hopefuls.

The Industry is in a period of change we are entering a new paradigm where the old rules are being rewritten but also musicians now have opportunities before them that most musicians in the past could only fantasize about

With years of experience working for some of the biggest names and brands in Show business including BMG Music, SONY and Warner Music Group, I’m looking forward to being able to engage with new musicians and help bring about change that will benefit all.

The first of these new initiatives will involve a series of Podcasts whereby I’ll discuss with other leading executives within Entertainments the matters and affairs of the day whilst also adding an educational element.

The idea behind this all is to help as many new, young and upcoming musicians along the way as possible and if I can help pass on the experience gained over these past 35 years then I’ll be a satisfied man

Over the weeks and months to come I’ll will be discussing the state of the Industry financially, the consolidation and changes it is experiencing and how this affects new Musicians. How also there has never actually been a better time to be a Musician with all the tools and channels musicians of today have before them such as Social Media etc.

I’ll also be discussing more conventional ideas such as Publishing, Record Deals, Touring and how to build a brand that is sustainable and also profitable.
