One of the most promising sectors to have emerged from the proliferation of NFT and blockchain technology over the past few years is undoubtedly Web3 music<\/a>. Considering the legacy music industry has continued to fail artists<\/a> time and time again, music creatives of all types have been\u00a0flocking to the blockchain<\/a> to take a crack at independence and succeeding.<\/p>\n Thus far, few have achieved as significant staying power in the blockchain music sector as Latash\u00e1<\/a>. A rapper, poet, performance artist, events coordinator, community manager, and much more, the Zoratopia founder<\/a> has continued to define what excellence in Web3 music looks and sounds like. In doing so, she has emerged as a leading proponent of Web3 music and a prime example of music NFT prosperity.<\/p>\n This is precisely why, in 2023, the multi-hyphenate artist has yet again secured a spot on nft now\u2019s NFT100 list<\/a> of influential leaders in the space. We recently sat down with her to discuss her journey into Web3 music, the founding of Zoratopia, the next chapter in her career, and more.<\/p>\n Prior to Latash\u00e1 finding herself anywhere near blockchain music, she had already set out to make a name for herself as a rapper. Having fallen into music, as she says, \u201caccidentally\u201d due to her interest and involvement in poetry slams, by the time she did onboard into Web3, she had already accrued over a decade\u2019s worth of recording experience. She\u2019d even secured gigs opening for acts like Kanye West, Q-Tip, Big Sean, and more along the way.<\/p>\n Yet, everything changed for Latash\u00e1 when she became privy to the innovation happening in the music NFT space. \u201cI really think that Web3 has completely shifted my existence,\u201d she said in a previous interview<\/a> with nft now. \u201cI was a struggling artist trying to figure this thing out, and when I got [to Web3], I felt like something was healing within me.\u201d<\/p>\n \nFrom label ties to blockchain IP<\/h2>\n
