Vezt ICO Review
ICO’s are a great way to multiply your initial investment. Although there is, of course, the risk too lose everything, I think some ICO’s are worth looking at it. During my research, I finally stumbled across Vezt, a project which is able to revolutionize the way we experience, enjoy and love music.
So if you are loving music as much as I do, and if you want to earn some music right revenues you should read the whole story 😉
What are they doing?
Join Our Mission to Transform the Music Industry!
"We believe that music is one of the few mediums that can literally transform life. It can provide solace and comfort to those hurting or in need, joy and excitement to an experience or event, and even has the ability to transcend time and space with the emotional nostalgia that hearing a favorite song can trigger in one’s mind. It’s powerful and magic and we think it’s worthy of our efforts to provide its creators with the ability to be fairly and transparently compensated for their work and talent." - Co-founders Steve Stewart and Robert Menendez
According to Vezt, and if you follow some industry news you would agree, the whole music industry is in the hand of a few big labels. They can decide which song will be published and decide more or less how much an artist gets paid for his or her effort. Often, those deals are way better for the labels than for the artists, especially if the singer/songwriter is relatively new to the business. But even well-known ones have to face such problems.
To fight against this old-fashioned way of doing business, and to ensure a fairer distribution of income among the artist and his stakeholders (label, managers, fans), Vezt is creating a platform where musicians can offer shares of their songs to their fans and investors. On this platform, artist will have to sell a fraction of their song rights in the so-called "ISO - Initial Song Offering"
Crypto guys should love this term 😜
How does it work?
Artists choose how much they’d like to raise from a fraction of their rights from one of their songs (for example, $10,000 for 10% of their songwriter rights), the reversion term (3. 5, 10 or in perpetuity), and set a date for the ISO.
Rights-buyers on the Vezt platform (including fans, music professionals, and brands), buy the rights during the ISO, and the artist receives the funds credited to their account immediately.
As a return, investors will then got a fraction of the royalties of the song.
It's unnecessary to mention that the terms of those deals are written into the smart contract to ensure everything is comprehensible and transparent.
Platform features
- Fractional song monetization for artists through Initial Song Offerings (ISOTM)
- Social media sharing of both artist and rights-buyers’ activity and playlists
- Royalty tracking and collection in 137 countries around the world
- Allows fans, rights-buyers, and brands to participate across a wide variety of songs and playlists
