FanTiger, India’s first dedicated music NFT marketplace, today launched its debut music NFT with renowned Punjabi singer and actress, Sunanda Sharma. The launch of the NFT marks a momentous occasion for the Punjabi music industry as Sunanda Sharma becomes the first female Punjabi singer to release a song, “9-9 Mashukan” as an NFT.
A song is the culmination of hard work of singers, lyricists and musicians. FanTiger’s vision is to grow the music value chain using the power of the Fan community. The marketplace already has interest from over 150,000 enthusiasts who are eagerly awaiting the launch of the first music NFT on the platform.
Effective immediately, Sunanda has opened the waitlist for her new song, 9-9 Mashuka, for Fans to reserve their spot on FanTiger.com to invest in her music NFT, which will allow them to purchase partial ownership of the song, royalty income, exclusive community access, limited edition signed merchandise, and an opportunity to personally interact with Sunanda Sharma. Every music NFT purchased through FanTiger is secure on a blockchain, thus making it safe to own and free from any plagiarism.
During the launch of the world’s first Punjabi Music NFT, Prashan Agarwal, CEO and Co-Founder, FanTiger said, “We welcome Sunanda to the FanTiger family with her first-ever music NFT. She is leading the way to step into the world of bringing music closer to Fans everywhere and living up to her title of ‘Boss Lady’ given by her fans.
