How to Buy Back Your Music Catalog From Record Labels using Cryptocurrency

Mint Season 4 episode 14 welcomes Mark de Clive-Lowe, an American-based Japanese-New Zealand DJ, musician, composer, and producer who’s making headwinds in web3. I wanted to have Mark on because he’s attempting to do something very unique; he's in the process of raising funds to buy back his music catalog from the labels he initially signed with early on in his career. Not only does he share his journey so far and how he’s raised nearly 10 ETH to date, but we provide tips on how you can follow in his footsteps as well.

In this episode, we discuss: 

• 1:12 - Intro
• 9:15 - Is Web Three the perfect medium for Music?
• 19:37 - Buy Back Crowd-fund
• 24:55 - Is Revenue shared with DAO Contributors?
• 30:53 - Who Owns Your Catalog?
• 35:28 - Give Us Your Roadmap
• 37:57 - How do you price material?
• 40:28 - Importance of ISRC Codes
• 48:01 - DAOs that buy music catalogs
• 51:48 - What if the Crowd-fund isn’t fulfilled?
• 52:50 - Outro

I hope you enjoy our conversation.
