R & B singer Ashanti is a trailblazer through a new company.
It has been reported that she is teaming up with EQ Exchange, a woman-owned Web3 platform. Ashanti will now be the first Black female artist to be one of the founders of a Web3 company.
“It’s so important to me to get the message out that artists should own their intellectual property. By empowering myself through new technology, I’m trying to help other women avoid going through the things that I’ve been through. The future belongs to those who take control and make it their own,” Ashanti said in a released statement.
On March 25, EQ Exchange will be ready to launch.
In 2021, Ashanti announced that she would be re-recording her 2002 debut album in order to own her masters again. So, it is no surprise that she is now interested in joining the tech field.
EQ Exchange is a company founded by Janice Taylor geared to empower musicians with the assistance of blockchain technology.
Reports note that Ashanti will release innovative experiences and NFTs solely with EQ Exchange.
“Ashanti is paving the way for the next generation of artists in the new creator economy. EQ Exchange could not have asked for a better partner as we work together to change the game for all artists, particularly women and people of color,” Taylor stated.
