Introducing ‘Stage,’ a promising Web3 project that utilizes AI tools to revolutionize the music industry!

The project will be presented for a Private Round for stakers in the Top 3 Tiers on SidusPad.

So it’s time to review ‘Stage,’ its unique concept, the challenges, and potential solutions, along with the tokenomics, partners, investors, and the core team.

“The stars of tomorrow will be born on Stage,” reads the slogan, and it might be on-point, as the project focuses on the Gen-Z demographic, giving fresh talents a voice, and a Stage.

Let’s dive right in!

Stage | Revolutionizing the Music Industry with Web3

Stage aims to transform the music industry by combining Idol-style captivating music competitions with SocialFi, empowering fans to influence artists’ success while earning Real World Assets (RWAs) as tangible stakes in their careers. This fosters a vibrant community where each interaction enhances both the fan’s and the artist’s journey. It is a unique opportunity to bring the concept of Web3 and ownership to thousands of musicians worldwide!

As the first platform to adopt AI music, Stage introduces AI music competitions and on-chain tools, allowing anyone to tokenize music samples, melodies, beats, and vocals, pioneering a new era of interactive and investment-driven music engagement, supported by major KOL influencers, top-tier TGE partners, a BMG records deal, and a robust community. Intrigued?

Here are the project’s main features:

✔ Over 13 million followers via signed ambassador deals.

✔ Pre-Launch Success: 200+ artists and 43K users already on our iOS app before the official mainstream launch.

✔ Over 300 Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in total, including:

✔ Artists get 60% profits; BMG partnership.

✔ Designed by Erik Herrström, Spotify’s former Brand Design Director.

✔ $1.4M raised, from VCs such as Cogitent Ventures, RR2 Capital, Moonrock Capital, Synapse Network, and individuals such as Heath Wells, Co-Founder of NuOrder

Market and Growth

Stage describes its market strategy as a “self-fueling ecosystem of talent and discovery.” Artists are incentivized to participate with high returns from fan votes, which gives them time and energy to focus on music. The potential of better monetization than traditional brand deals drives artists to onboard their existing social audiences. Tailored for the Gen-Z pulse, Stage is collaborating with top influencers, who know how to navigate the massive TikTok reach of the target market.

Stage partnered with BMG Records, which provides contact with great unsigned artists, Ali Miri, the music executive behind the success of Tohi and his own label in NL, and Brian Wong, a serial entrepreneur from the US. Meanwhile, Kairon Labs stands as Stage’s market maker.

Token and Tokenomics

With a Fully Diluted Market cap of $12.5 million, Stage will distribute its 10 billion tokens as follows:
