You've seen the headlines and heard of the acronym, yet NFTs (non-fungible token) can seem like a daunting and confusing trend in the music industry. On June 14 at 6 p.m., entertainment attorney Colin Maher, in partnership with Nashville-based non-profit HOME (Helping Our Music Evolve), will break it all down into layman's terms for everyone to understand during this FREE virtual event. Music professionals may be asking, What is an NFT? or What exactly are you selling when you sell a music-related NFT? NFTs, a unit of data stored on a digital ledger called blockchain, which certifies the digital asset to be unique and therefore not interchangeable, are an emerging asset in the cryptocurrency environment. NFTs bring a great new revenue stream for the music industry, but they come with a lot of questions. During the seminar, participants will get answers to many of them.
