EP66: How Artists and Musicians Benefit from Cryptocurrencies w/ Tatiana Moroz

Published: March 29, 2017, 2:19 a.m.

The Problem:\nArtists still don\u2019t retain much control over their music and art and remain at the wishes of the music labels.\n\nTatiana\u2019s Solution: \nIntegrate cryptocurrencies to empower the artists to interact and engage DIRECTLY with their audience, supports and fans.\n\nBackground: \nTatiana has loved music her whole life and deeply influenced by singers/songwriters of the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s. She didn\u2019t know it then, but their message of freedom and individualism really struck to her core. Later she read classic novels like 1984 and Animal Farm and kept building this mindset. In 2012, Tatiana learned the truth about the Federal Reserve and a lot of stuff started to make sense. During the 2012 election, she made sense of what Ron Paul was fighting for and started creating music around the movement.\n\nWhile hanging out and learning from the \u201cliberty movement\u201d Tatiana found Bitcoin and something struck her; as a musician she quickly saw a great opportunity for her and her artistic peers to take control over their music and appeal directly to their fanbases. No more seeking permission from a big record label for the type of music to create or album art. \n\nArtist-coins\nSo you might be asking...why cryptocurrencies? Good question. Tatiana and I discuss how cryptocurrencies will change crowd-sales forever since you are offered a token in exchange. Basically you are sent a crypto-token as a provable receipt for the transaction. Rather than just a \u201cthank you for donating\u201d, you have an actual token that can then be used to purchase the artist\u2019s merchandise or maybe even give to a few friends so that they can download the single (or whole album) for free. If you collect enough artist-coins, then you might get a backstage pass, etc. Tatiana plans to have an entire online store where she\u2019ll accept her token, Tatianacoin, as payment. Now she can get our music and art out to the public while retaining full control over the experience. \n\nRoss Ulbricht\nTowards the end of the interview, we chat about Ross Ulbricht, the \u201calleged\u201d mastermind behind the Silk Road. I\u2019ve met Ross\u2019 mother Lyn Ulbricht and she\u2019s simply wonderful (and a client of https://www.LibertyVAs.com). Ross drew a picture of Tatiana (see below) which she chose to use as her album art. If a large record company was in charge of the distribution of her new EP, Keep The Faith, then she wouldn\u2019t have been allowed to use the art of a felon. Well, she doesn't need their guidance or controls. #freedom\n\n\nContact Info:\n\nWebsite: www.TatianaCoin.com\nTwitter: QueenTatiana\nPodcast: The Tatiana Show - https://liberty.me/podcast/tatiana-show/ \n\n\n**Tatiana\u2019s new EP \u201cKeep The Faith\u201d will be available on March 31st!**\nwww.TatianaCoin.com\n\nPress Releases:\nhttp://tatianamoroz.com/entrepreneurial-indie-artist-tatiana-moroz-releases-soulful-new-single-safe/\nhttp://tatianamoroz.com/february-9th-tatianacoin-campaign-press-release/ \nhttp://www.sonicscoop.com/2017/02/09/bitcoin-musicians-tatiana-moroz-makes-case-artist-coins/\nhttp://www.nasdaq.com/article/how-the-blockchain-lets-musicians-connect-with-fans-and-get-paid-cm755712\n\nPLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW ON YOUR FAVORITE PLATFORM!\nYoutube: http://www.youtube.com/c/LibertyEntrepreneurs\niTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/liberty-entrepreneurs/id1057809945?mt=2\nSoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/liberty-entrepreneurs\nStitcher Radio: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/liberty-entrepreneurs-podcast\nTuneIn Radio: http://tunein.com/radio/Liberty-Entrepreneurs-Podcast-p805213/\nGoogle Play: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Iqp3bpqbhske6s6476yfy2yyylu\nPlayer.fm: https://player.fm/series/liberty-entrepreneurs
