Sammy Arriaga is a Cuban-American singer / songwriter, who was born in metro Miami and now resides in Nashville. His music has a classic country feel with cutting edge programmed beats. Jumping into Music NFTs lit a fire in Sammy’s soul, both because of a rebirth with his music as well as a way to more deeply and relationally engage with his listeners. 

METAGIRL, his 1st music NFT, sold out. You can grab one on secondary marketplaces. PIXELATED dropped June 14th. 

Sammy was one of five music NFT artists nominated for an award at NFT NYC. He is a pioneer in the space, and his talent and kindness will likely keep him at the forefront for a long time.

Igor Lilic (@ililic) is a web3 delivery blah blah blah. He’s not worried about impressing you. But I will tell you that he was into crypto in 2012 and went full-time crypto in 2015. TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN!!! 

He digs ICP, ETH, & BTC and wishes he had a BTC Flower NFT. Born in Europe, grew up in Canada, and now in the US, he recently became an American citizen, which he is quite proud of. He is a work alumni of the DFINITY Foundation, ConsenSys, ThoughtWorks, and AWS. 

The best quote, in our opinion, from this interview, was his response to being asked what about web3 has captivated him. He began his reply with:

“We are building a parallel system without anyone’s permission, and I think that lots of people in the world can benefit from such a parallel system.”

Chew on that for a bit. :)
