Grooveup is a decentralized stream-to-earn music-fi and NFT music verse that will power the next chapter of disruption in the music industry! GrooveUP has created a new ecosystem where music makers, content creators, service providers, tastemakers, innovators, influencers, and investors will move in sync, collaborate, set mutual goals, and generate wealth.

Today, streaming services offer fans a listening experience and in some cases, a platform to connect with aritst. One unique opportunity we saw that came with the increase in web3 was fans asking to own a peice of artist/music royalty. Some would consider this the epitome of true fandom. Our goals were simple but ambitious:

A social listening experience that brought artist and fans together

Allow fans own a piece of royalty from artist and their music

With over hundreds of hours in research and focus groups with users of different personas, I worked with a team of music industry professionals to get a lot of insights into how the artist–song distribution works. I also did some analysis on platforms like Spotify for Artists and Clubhouse. I designed what was a combined experience of social listening rooms, incentive-driven streaming, smart non-custodial wallet stored artist tokens earn, and a mini NFT marketplace.
