As usual, let’s explore some of the most exciting drops and artist debuts happening throughout the week. Then we’ll get into the numerous ways that you can collect rewards for supporting the future of decentralized music. Get ready to go beyond the stream.

Following a sellout of her debut Gala Music NFT with “What You Like” (Gala Edition), alt-pop artist YUNICE is back with a new one that really hits home with her characteristic “sad girl” vibes. Listen to the “sad girl” edit of “Chasing Magic now and get the NFT track while supplies last starting at 1pm PT on Friday, August 16th.

Get as many $MUSIC Boxes as you want for $4.99 each, then open them when you like through your Collection page.
We recently launched a new way to collect music rewards! Play Music Miner in Telegram to complete tasks, upgrade experiences and build a superstar stack of rewards that will later be minted as $TREZ on both GalaChain and TON.
All you need is a free Telegram account to get started tapping and collecting rewards. Experience what it’s like to rise through the ranks from street corners to packed worldwide venues. Do you have what it takes to reach the top?
Are you an artist ready for a refresh? Looking for a platform that works with you instead of against you? At Gala Music, we’re giving musicians what they deserve, with numerous revenue opportunities to explore and lots of ways to build a dedicated fan base.
With the power of the $MUSIC token, Gala Music has already paid out millions of dollars to both emerging and established artists. Artists on our decentralized platform typically make more than double per stream than on Spotify, and we’re just getting started.
NFT track ownership is the most effective way to collect rewards for your support of decentralized music. By owning tracks from limited run NFT sales, you can collect daily $MUSIC rewards as long as you own the track. And because it’s an NFT, you can always list it for sale on secondary market platforms like OpenSea – It’s actually yours.
For those looking to collect daily $MUSIC for multiple tracks without building a track collection of their own, becoming a Jukebox Node operator is a perfect option. Each upgradeable Jukebox Node comes with space for 10 hosted NFT tracks, allowing the operator to share in all the rewards.
Cool off with the best new music content in web3, curated by our experienced professionals from some of the hottest artists all over the world. With unique All Access experiences, killer drops and live virtual concert events, Gala Music is the place for summer vibes.
It’s time to dive in, cool down and unwind with some amazing music you haven’t heard yet!
“Good Time” is about letting go and having fun on your journey even when things aren’t perfect. I feel like that’s a lesson we all learn at some point; in being true to yourself, you can’t make everyone happy all the time. Do what feels right and enjoy the ride! Perfect for your Hot Gala Summer, “Good Time” drops on Friday at 1pm PT. Don’t miss the special RYAHN Discord AMA on Thursday, July 25th at 3:30pm PT.
We’re welcoming multitalented dancehall/Afro Beat/Hip-hop sensation TARELA (formerly Squeeze Tarela) to Gala Music with his debut track drop! Laced with melodic guitar by SUCKARIE and co-produced by TARELA and MARPHY JAY, the soulful track is designed specially for the top spot on your playlist.
Breaking Ground in Web3 Film
With a first-of-its-kind award nomination for web3 film content, David Bianchi’s electrifying sci-fi series earned a Primetime Emmy nomination. Mena Suvari has been recognized for her outstanding role as Detective Thompson. Congratulations! Learn in THIS BLOG.
In a brilliant demo of interoperability in web3, Gala Music has also released a collection of special soundtrack NFTs from the series, created by award-winning cinematic composer Adrian Prevost. Check them out on Gala Music now. Owners of these exclusive tracks are rewarded not only for Gala Music plays but also for Gala Film plays of RZR episodes containing them!
Presented by VOX superstars FutureBoy and Gala Girl, Future Boxes have had a Legendary run as one of our most popular Mystery Box items ever. With chances to win exclusive reward track NFTs, special merch, $MUSIC, $GALA or even a Jukebox Node (valued at $2k!), it’s no wonder you couldn’t get enough of these exquisite boxes.
Well, this is your last call. Within a couple short days, they’ll no longer be available for $4.99 (or for any price). We wanted to give you one more chance to stock up and crack open some sick prizes! Good luck on your pulls!
If you haven’t started building an NFT track collection yet, you’re missing out on some serious $MUSIC rewards. There are a lot of ways to get your hands on the official token of the Gala Music ecosystem, but owning tracks is one of the most powerful. Once you’ve paired your track to an active Gala Music Jukebox Node, you’ll receive $MUSIC rewards every single day based on the platform success of that track.
If you want to support the web3 world of music in a big way while collecting even more $MUSIC rewards, consider running a Jukebox Node of your own. No web3 expertise is required. A single Node lets you power up to 10 different NFT tracks, enabling their rewards and setting aside a daily share for you as the node operator. 😎

A couple months into the launch of our groundbreaking Artist Upload feature, Gala Music is witnessing an unprecedented wave of artist empowerment and creative freedom.
This innovative tool has transformed the way artists manage and release their music on Gala Music, placing control directly into their hands and significantly enhancing their ability to connect with fans.
If you’re an artist interested in dropping tracks on Gala Music, we’d love to hear from you and check out your music. Start here.
Why Artist Upload is a Game-Changer
The Artist Upload feature is crucial for several reasons:
Decentralized Control: Artists can now independently upload, schedule, and price their NFT track releases without relying on intermediaries. This shift towards greater decentralization aligns perfectly with our vision of empowering artists and fostering a fairer, more transparent music industry.
Flexibility and Freedom: With the self-service portal, artists can seamlessly integrate their promotional strategies with their release schedules, ensuring their music reaches their audience at the perfect moment. This level of autonomy is a significant departure from traditional music distribution channels.
Elimination of Barriers: The removal of wallets and gas fees makes the process of releasing NFT tracks simpler and more accessible. Artists can focus on their music and creativity rather than the complexities of blockchain technology.
Celebrating Two Months of Artist Upload
In just over two months, the Artist Upload feature has already made a significant impact. Artists are not only releasing music but are also engaging with their fans in more meaningful ways through the platform’s various functionalities, including the ability to add music videos and organize All Access Experiences.
Moving Towards Greater Decentralization
As we continue to evolve, our goal is to push even further towards decentralization. This ongoing transformation will offer even more control and freedom for artists, ensuring that they remain at the heart of the Gala Music ecosystem.
Looking Ahead
This is just the beginning. We are committed to continuously updating and refining the Artist Upload feature, responding to the needs and feedback of our artists to provide the best possible platform for their creative expression.
For artists looking to take advantage of this revolutionary tool, the journey starts at Gala Music for Artists. Join us in reshaping the music industry, where artists and fans unite in a decentralized world of music, enjoying unprecedented levels of empowerment and freedom.
Embrace the future of music with Gala Music – where your creativity knows no bounds.
