Happy Friday with the park ⌐Ⓗ-Ⓕ — Derek Taylor

Derek Taylor is a musician and founding member of the park. A band with many of the largest onchain music mints of all time. Based in Los Angeles, originally from San Francisco.

They stage Fridays at the Park, bringing artists together in the room to write and record music. In-person experiences that also help onboard into the onchain and crypto world.

Derek is a coffee enthusiast and raconteur. Owner of the legendary Menotti’s Coffee Stop in Venice Beach. We jumped on the mics to record days before I flew out to FarCon. We co-hosted HIGHER SESSIONS down at Venice Beach skatepark on Saturday morning, with the park, higher and UFO. Trevor aka The Gardener had a mountain of flowers there and was creating bouquets for people passing by and the park was providing coffee.

We talk about the back story of the park, stories of creative collaborations across the world, how best to get started on the onchain scene as a musician, and how things look into the future.
