Hi Nicky my old friend! Hope you are safe and well.

1. As you know I love to code and I love music so after I had being playing dCity, Holy Bread, Drug Wars and a few other games for a while the idea bubbled up in my head. I had no idea how to develop on blockchain so dove in and looked for help. It was actually really hard to find people to help and that surprised me but eventually someone responded and I paid for the basic code to be created and then I modified it from there. @gerber (the dCity creator) was a massive help too and I wouldn't have been able to move forward without his constant support.

2. Atom Collector Records was starting to experience that drop off you get after the initial launch period and one of the members introduced me to crypto. I then discovered Musicoin and dsound. As well as trying to get more fans musicians need money just like everyone and I was curious to see if we could do a bit of both.

3. Due to the "crypto winter" things have progressed at a snails pace in terms of music & crypto but we have now had the Bitcoin halving and all things being equal we are about to go into the next bull cycle. Trying to predict one year ahead in crypto is impossible let alone five but I think we will see a lot of crypto music services appear in the next year or two. However they will all have the same problem that even new non-crypto music platforms have - how do you attract listeners who are not just other musicians with an ulterior motive to listen? That is the holy grail and no one has cracked it yet!
