On this episode of Overpriced JPEGs, Carly welcomes Austin Hurwitz, SVP of Web3 and Community of Venice Music.

Venice Music is speeding up the evolution and support process of what it means to be an independent musical artist in today’s day and age.

Austin shares how the tables are being turned away from legacy music to the next wave of independent artists and the catalyst role music NFTs are playing in this shift. Further, Austin explains what CC0 music is and why its implications could be so powerful.
