The platform spoke in more detail about the latest round of funding, saying the funding will allow them to “continue to expand and improve OurSong globally, including rolling out new features for creators.”
OurSong is the first mobile app from Our Happy Company, co-founded by music artist John Legend. They have made creating and purchasing NFTs very easy , according to the company, allowing anyone to turn their stories, music, photos, and any kind of art into NFT trading cards called Vibes. You can do anything with these tokens, and the process of creating and collecting has been simplified – now it can be done through a mobile application that is available on the App Store and Google Play.
For reference, John Legend is an R&B singer from Ohio. His most famous song All of Me has over 2 billion views on YouTube. In addition to music, he also acted in films and produced films, including the Oscar-winning film La La Land. He is known all over the world for his music. Legend originally worked as a studio musician for the likes of Lauren Hill and Alicia Keys. He then rose to fame with his 2004 debut album Get Lifted, which was subsequently certified double platinum. During his career, he has been nominated for 33 Grammy Awards and won 11.
From the moment NFT was popularized, Legend immediately saw many advantages in this technology and, unlike many stars, went his own way in this space, creating an NFT product that was useful not only for him but for many creative people and their fans.
