Mozik – The Future Game Changer in The China Music Industry

Mozik - The future Game changer in the Chinese Music industry
“Having been involved in this industry for 15 years, I have witnessed first hand the problems faced by many artists. Now, with blockchain and NFT’s, there exists a genuine alternative that will change how we consume and engage with music, incentivizing talented artists to keep creating quality works.” (Mario Lee, Mozik Founder & CEO).
Mario Lee, Mozik’s founder, and CEO is the former COO of Rock Mobile, the largest record company in China. With over 15 years of experience in the music industry, he – more than anyone else – understands the difficulties of artists in China. These understandings motivated Lee to lay the foundation of Mozik – the Music NFT platform based on blockchain technology.
About Mozik
Mozik is a decentralized music NFT platform that promotes a “healthier” and “fairer” music ecosystem. It resolves the deep-seated problems of the Chinese music industry: Artist’ underpayment, high demanding record labels, monopolies, and expensive paid promotions.
Since its beginning, Mozik has reached 10M+ users on its streaming app, received a grant from Tezos Foundation, and earned several prizes. Some of the most notable famous awards include TechCrunch Best Design Awards, Tencent/Baidu Entrepreneur Champion, and Comm Youth League Championship.
Mozik’s solutions
Mozik uses blockchain technology to register revenue from music copyright, super-star IP, celebrity traffic, and IP derivatives on the decentralized NFT platform.
The music ecosystem as a whole, including composers, publishers, purchasers, and fans, may all participate equitably. Artists are encouraged to make more and higher quality music as a result of Mozik’s platform. All participants may benefit from decreased publication costs and more involvement from fans, resulting in a healthier and more equitable music ecosystem.
Mozik creates online music distribution agreements and copyright transaction price agreements. Thanks to these agreements, a blockchain community for online music production and digital copyright-related IP derivatives trading has been developed between online music makers and consumers. Art creators use digital tools to upload their music assets to the blockchain. Critics, traders, and industry operators identify outstanding works in the community and disrupt centralized platforms’ traffic monopolies. These actions promise to result in an efficient, fast, and low-cost creation, storage, trading, and IP derivative development system for various online musical forms globally.
In specific, Mozik provides the following services:
- Music Sharing: Creators contribute their work to be shared. Music may be shared, listened to, and subscribed to by anybody.
- Social Fans: Music fans use the platform to communicate online and offline, contributing to the traffic value. The blockchain distributes the corresponding platform traffic value to all users. This traffic value will be used to calculate the user’s platform dividend ratio later on.
- IP NFT: The published music is a form of NFT asset protected by Mozik. Through smart contracts, creators, fans, and Mozik collaborate to manage and share assets.
- Digital Asset Exchange: Mozik wallet is a digital asset exchange that allows the issuance and administration of NFT assets. Mozik has built-in features that will enable you to swap assets.
