Valuing Artists By Their Potential — Black Dave

Black Dave aka Dave Curry is a music artist, producer, rapper, photographer, and innovator in the realms of web3 music and NFTs.

He’s a contributor at leading music DAOs such as Water & Music, and shares ideas about crypto and music at blackdave.mirror.xyz. He helped to found a collaborative music project Amethyst from his hometown in Charleston, South Carolina.

His latest release Black Dave Token is an audacious project which aims to support his musical journey raising 250 ETH with 1 million NFTs.

In this episode, we talk platforms for minting music such as ZORA, Catalog and Sound. Dynamics of scarcity in music NFTs ~ 1/1s as fine art and editions as building blocks for communities. And his belief that we should value artists by their potential, not their present moment.
