Time to build with music.

RT @audius: Hey, so this is actually insane!. Artists deserve more. Just going to leave this here 💜

RT @audius: If you’re an artist and have ideas of things to build that could run atop the Audius protocol / SDK, please reach out to @Jesse….

13/ If you’re an artist, builder, or fan who wants to experiment with us—reach out. We want to collaborate, test ideas, and push boundaries together. 📩 jesse@audius.co. Let’s build the future of music, one idea at a time. / end.

12/ I am also thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining the Audius Grants team to help select new projects that need a little extra boost to get to proof of concept. You can read more about the grants program here:

11/ We’ll move fast. Work with artists, fans, creatives. Try things. Break things. Learn. And we’ll turn the best concepts into tools for all creators. Our mission is simple: grow the pie by building a parallel creative economy that actually works for real fans.

10/. All this to say: I’m thrilled to share I’m joining the Audius team to lead a newly formed Agency focused on bold experiments at the edges of music, technology, and fan culture.

9/ Audius is already a 10x evolution of what we built at Ujo, yet, there’s still so much more to do. It’s the best platform to inspire the next generation of creators. To realize the future I’ve always believed in.

8/ @audius launched over 8 years ago while we were still building Ujo. I’ve known Roneil since then and always admired his determination to build something lasting. Today, Audius serves 3M+ monthly listeners and has paid out hundreds of thousands to artists.

7/ That journey showed us what’s possible but also what’s missing. Creators and fans need better tools, ownership, and economics. The use cases are still forming, built on infrastructure that’s taken years to lay down. The opportunity ahead is massive.

6/ After Ujo, I co-founded @sixweb3 to help artists navigate the NFT boom without damaging their brand. We brokered Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin and helped artists such as Freddie Mercury, Diplo, and Galantis generate over $10M in NFT sales.

5/ The future of music won’t look like Spotify or SoundCloud. It’ll look like open platforms that reward creativity in real time. Permissionless innovation that pays artists and empowers communities.

4/ I believe we’re at the edge of a new Renaissance, if we build the right tools. But we can’t assume we know what artists need, what fans crave, or how these new behaviors will take hold. We have to experiment with artists and not just for them.

3/ As AI and automation reshape everything, creativity becomes humanity’s most valuable edge. The ability to connect dots machines can’t. Not just remix the past, but imagine new futures. That’s where we as humans thrive.

2/ We spent years building toward that vision: a world where artists come first and creativity is rewarded. We didn’t quite change the world but did help inspire it. And that same need for a fairer creative economy still exists today.

1/ Ten years ago, I co-founded @UjoMusic , which launched the first consumer-facing app on Ethereum in 2015. It was a proof of concept, but it taught us that the future of music could be more open, artist-centric, and creatively free.

What part of the cycle are we in when you get actual texts from @FedEx and they have to swear they just need an answer and prove (with screenshots) and promise they’re real
