Kapanlagi.com - The popularity of NFT among art enthusiasts is not limited to visual arts. The technological breakthrough brought by NFT is now being utilized by music industry players to create and stay relevant in the current market.
The music industry has certainly experienced ups and downs with the development of digital technology. Digitization in the music industry has been a major challenge for industry players. Many people listen to music from their favorite musicians, but the results are often pirated works. However, the situation is starting to change with the presence of music streaming services in society.
Based on data from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) and WEF, music streaming services were able to generate US$ 8.9 billion, equivalent to IDR 125.5 trillion, and contributed 47% to the total revenue of the industry globally. This contribution has increased rapidly from 2013, which was only 9% with a value of US$ 1.4 billion or equivalent to IDR 19.7 trillion.
The music industry in Indonesia has also been growing since the emergence of various streaming platforms in recent years. It is undeniable that this has made it easier to access official releases from musicians both domestically and internationally. In the second quarter of 2020, according to data from Spotify, there were 299 million active users, up 4.5% from the previous quarter.
The implementation of NFT in the music industry is seen as one way to help overcome problems such as royalty issues. "The implementation of smart contracts in NFT allows us to ensure a sustainable royalty flow for creators in any industry who have turned their works into NFTs." This is one of the added values of NFT for creative industry players who have been facing challenges related to the sustainability of royalties from their works," said Thelvia Vennieta, Head of TokoMall.
Music has become one of the industries that TokoMall sees as having great potential and a large community in Indonesia.Music industry players are now starting to look at NFT as one of the technologies that needs to be adapted in presenting innovations from their works.Aiming to help empower the potential of Indonesian musicians, TokoMall has partnered with Netra to present NFT royalty-sharing from top musicians that can be accessed in the Collectibles feature.
