Bombshelter Digital, a major player in the music industry, has announced a strategic partnership with blockchain-powered music distribution leader Revelator Labs. Together, they have launched the Discovery Community, an artist incubator and events platform aimed at showcasing emerging independent musicians and visual artistes from across Africa.
The Discovery Community officially launched on September 6, 2024, with the release of the EP Discovery Community Volume 1. The EP features six tracks that blend Afrobeats and alte fusion sounds and highlights fast-rising talents such as OMA, Busayo, Wasalu, Givens, Naya Akanji, Toyemusic, Victor Collins, Leeobi, MisterKay, and Egar Boi.
This partnership aims to revolutionize the music landscape by combining advanced AI and blockchain technology. Through the initiative, select artistes will have their music tokenized, enabling automated and transparent revenue distribution. The platform also offers affordable, high-impact marketing solutions to help independent artists gain visibility without large investments. Additionally, blockchain technology will ensure accurate and automatic royalty payments, enhancing trust and efficiency in the system.
Oluwaseyi Ladele, Head of Music Licensing at Bombshelter Digital, stated, “This initiative not only showcases the best of new music but also sets a new benchmark for how artistes are compensated and recognized in the digital age.”
“The Web3 music ecosystem will exist in parallel to the streaming economy for years to come. To maximize their benefits, creators will need to engage in both, recognizing their distinct strengths and potential for synergistic collaboration. We are delighted to have Bombshelter Digital as a partner to help us make this a reality,” added Gilad Woltsovitch, Head of Revelator Labs.
The Discovery Community is expected to become a key platform for discovering Africa’s next wave of music talent.
