Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community celebrating live music on Hive. Each week is a new event, encouraging musicians to share songs with an international audience.
Music is Magic.
If you are a musician or a music lover, you already know it helps us to tap into our emotions, to feel connected, to process grief, to recognize joy in life, to generate gratitude... These benefits support our health and well-being in body, heart, mind, and soul. Music makes miracles happen—miracles that make the world a better place.
Music Makes World Peace Possible.
That's because music is the ultimate harmonizer. Music is a universal language that allows all walks of life to express and connect. This creates kinship. Sharing an appreciation for music, people of various tribes and nations put differences aside, becoming grateful for each other, and peaceful.
In the Hive Open Mic community, we work to achieve global harmony right here on the Hive blockchain, with live music as our focus. Each and every week, our community hosts 100+ live music performances from around the world. Live music is real, raw, and relatable. Live music is accessible to anyone with a voice. Live music invites collaboration, as we witnessed in our special community-wide creation on the 72nd week:
We are building a musical movement, with a global reach. Our virtual stage is scalable, meaning that it is designed to grow—we can support a growing number of musicians and listeners. And we are already seeing the favorable impacts of the colossal waves we send out into the world. This impact is largely felt in Venezuela and Nigeria, I witness, as these are two of our community's brightest points of light.
Presently, we are in the middle of our 84th consecutive weekly event, with a team of dedicated moderators keeping the high vibe alive. This task is a huge undertaking, and it calls for a heroic group effort. As we continue to grow and flourish as a community, it feels natural to create a new Hive account designed to be a unified voice, devoted to Hive Open Mic. That's why we're launching:
A new profile to support the Hive Open Mic community

Joining the Hive Open Mic community gives musicians a space to perform, reaching a supportive audience that offers enthusiastic upvotes and encouraging words. Joining this community also gives listeners a concert ticket, essentially, so you can enjoy live music wherever you are. We celebrate the live music we hear here with weekly curated concerts, giving special recognition to a "Spotlight Artist" and a "Pillar of the Community".
We welcome all walks of life. Some of us are multilingual, and we recognize that music is a universal language that meets us all in the middle. Some of us are spiritual, and we recognize that music grants us various interpretations of the divine. All are welcomed here. All skill levels are accepted. All musical genres are invited.
Music Also Generates Value.
One of the additional benefits we see in creating this new profile is the possibility of distributing wealth among the community. Maybe there are resources we can grant to musicians seeking support in recording an album, or making a music video. Maybe there are physical meetups that can arranged with some funds to pay for a shared meal. Assuming this community continues to grow and prosper, I believe we will have much to share.
