Web3 platform promoting independent African artists to create, mint, and earn from Afrobeat music NFTs on Optimism, while educating and providing a supportive community for Web2 artists transitioning to Web3.

The traditional music industry is not bad, but i wonder why many artists always have issues with their record label at the end of the day, especially in Africa. Well i’m related to thousands of them and I can understand their experiences. Many of them ends up depressed while still in contract, because the label determines when to drop their songs, some are already broke cos they are not making money and cant be in the street to hustle because of their reputation, many are secretly looking for a way out, this experience is what i can also relate with. Which made me realise, lowkey everyone wanna be independent but the question is how?

This is where we come in.

OPxM Is a Web 3 Afro beat community driven to introduce / Onboard / Educate and create a home for web 2 Artist to thrive in the web3 ecosystem. We all know Afro beat is currently one of the biggest genres of music in the world today, and Africa on the hand have one of the largest web3 market in the world, the objective of this project is to onboard independent artist from Africa into creating Afro beat Music NFTs, deployed on optimism and minted on:

With the amount of impact in Afrobeat music, it’s undeserving to see few Afrobeat artists in the web3 ecosystem, and that’s because of the structure and lack of projects like this. This project will send a message to the world that Optimism cares about Afro-beat Artist and wanna make creating of audio NFTs easy for them which they can always build & earn their royalties on Optimism.

Optimism have one of the most transparent and structural ecosystem here on web3 and it’s of great importance we plan ahead for the future. Creating a community such as this for like minded Afrobeat artist to dwell in can be considered one of the biggest step taken by this ecosystem in the nearest future, simply because of the high demands of Afrobeat music which can also provide sustainability to this Artist.

With experience here on web3 music success is inevitable, and for the record, am the brain behind the most rated Near Anthem 2022. Part of our road map is promoting our community and market place to wider audiences across the globe.

Other than just creating contents we intend to use individuals that are exclusively talented in their fields to bring the best in them, we live in a world where the most talented minds are the most unprivileged, so our scouting team will be in charge of scouting those exeptional talents that can take this blockchain to a more greater height. look how musically afro beat is taking Nigeria as a country to greater level in the music industry, this is achieved by some set of talented individuals, relating this to Optimism now that’s where This Project comes in. We scout, develop and create.

This artist will produce quality afro beat, to be minted, & promoted all round web 3.
