Grammy nominee Aloe Blacc and acclaimed street artist Phillip Lumbang have joined forces to unveil BeatHeadz ‘ debut NFT collection.
A collection of 10,808 tokens are generative avatars adorned with headphones. Each avatar will be accompanied by bits that the team will later design specifically for each NFT token holder.
Black, a vocal advocate for social reform and activism, promised that 25% of BeatHeadz’s proceeds from primary sales would go to charities that support music education. The singer, who is behind Avicii’s infectious hits “I Need a Dollar”, “The Man” and “Wake Me Up”, promises that building a strong community will be at the forefront of this NFT project.
“Great art brings people together. We look forward to offering VIP services with live music. We are also looking forward to hosting our own festivals. No matter how the music spreads, we want to be a part of it. The big dream is to create a brand that will unite people and help our collectors find the most useful things. My personal goal is to be the leader in providing exclusive and expanded access to music releases for our BeatHeadz community. BeatHeadz is for music lovers. And who doesn’t love music?”
The artist also added that the collection contains history . This symbolic story was specially designed not only by Aloe Blacc and Philippe Lumbang, but also by co-founders Jeremy Levitan and Tom Cishek. It will be a mythology centered around eight characters from the BeatHeadz collection. They will be represented by the Rescuers , who will travel to a fictional realm spawned by the “Music Disease Industry” – a collection of evil, exploitative parasites.

The eight BeatHeadz heroes in this story will also act as musical revolutionaries, immune to the algorithmic garbage created by the music-disease industry in the Negaverse. These NFTs will be revealed over time, along with 16 one-of-a-kind ultra-rare BeatHeadz designed by a street artist in honor of various characters, archetypes and artistic movements.
“These eight BeatHeadz are carefully crafted characters. They will represent the variety that we usually see at festivals. At the music festival you can meet people of any type and from any walk of life. They represent different genres of music and different combinations of genres.”
The founders of the project believe that their project will shine among a thriving community. After all, both of them have known each other for a long time and have experience in community-oriented projects that affect social change. And BeatHeadz will be no different from them.
The artist also added:
“The community is the glue for BeatHeadz. That’s all we stand for. When I see our Discord bubbling with conversation, it really puts a smile on my face. I’m very active on our Discord because I love meeting people and spreading the good news about BeatHeadz.”
The launch of the collection took place on April 21 on the site.
