We had the pleasure of interviewing TAROT over Zoom video! Jordyn Benedict aka TAROT is a Nashville-based independent singer-songwriter who has transitioned her music career into the web3 space. The 24 year-old sold her first NFTs by minting 28 tokens everyday in the month of February — all of which contained a new song written, produced, mixed and mastered by Jordyn herself. She also sold a collection of 11 music video NFTs, 5 of which were sold during an appearance Jordyn made in a Twitter Space. With a modest following of 22k across her social platforms and less than 100k streams on Spotify, the female singer made over $7000 from songs that otherwise would have sat in her collection — all thanks to web3. Benedict is one of the few female music artists leading the way as an NFT creator in a very much male-dominated space. From her first NFT launch, she has been able to cultivate an organic and highly engaged audience of loyal fans and supporters whose NFTs will grow in value as she builds out her web3 ecosystem. "I felt like I had to prove myself coming into the web3 space," said Benedict. "Even on my hardest days, I realized my effort was going beyond myself. I was impacting other people in web3 — as small as my impact was, it's continuing to grow every single day. I'm connecting with real people and building the 1000 fan rule. You can look at an artist's stats, Spotify numbers, streams, etc., but how many people will actually show up to their shows? That's what this space allows independent artists to create on our own." Next up, she will be launching her crypto crowdfund campaign at the beginning of May, which will fund the release of her debut album, "Wake." We want to hear from you!
