Sounds of RAUS
Sounds of Regional Australia (RAUS) is an initiative to uncover talent from regional towns and promote musicians through music production and mentorship. I will produce one music track for each artist to be released with a weekly podcast. This podcast will present the uniqueness of each Australian artist with an interview. Each artist will be given new tools for self-promotion and knowledge on Web3 and on-chain revenue methods, in addition to the traditional "play-per-stream" methods. Sounds of RAUS will also promote them to every local festival and venue, creating online campaigns to maximize their potential.
Getting to know the local talent
The project conducts interviews to introduce them to their supporters and potential new audiences.
