A.R Rahman and HBAR Foundation to create content for new NFT platform

 A.R. Rahman, composer, producer and musician, has partnered with the US-based HBAR Foundation to create content for a new NFT music platform. The new offering will focus on India’s independent music community.

The HBAR Foundation is providing a grant and organisational support for development and growth of the NFT platform, scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2022.

As part of the launch, A.R. Rahman will release his first-ever NFT series, with portions of the proceeds going to charity.

“We’re excited to partner with HBAR Foundation to create content, as well as support and mentor the new NFT platform, which in turn will bring more opportunities to the Indian music community,” said Rahman.

“The new platform will enable independent musical artists to release content as NFTs, interact with fans, engage with their communities and help monetise their creations,” he added.

Hedera Hashgraph has been selected for Rahman’s NFT offerings, as the organisation has the industry’s most decentralised and transparent governance model, led by the Hedera Governing Council, which ensures reliability of the network.

“The HBAR Foundation is proud to support innovative projects across the globe, and our strategic partnership with A.R. Rahman provides tremendous value to the HBAR ecosystem with its focus on the large and vibrant music community in India,” said Shayne Higdon, Executive Director and CEO at the HBAR Foundation.

“We are excited to be a part of this maiden journey of A.R. Rahman into the world of NFTs and it is an important step reflecting our commitment to build the blockchain ecosystem in India. This partnership reiterates our mission to collaborate with the best and expand the ecosystem in the region,” said Vignesh Raja, Director – Business Development (Middle East and South Asia), the HBAR Foundation.
