Introduction:
Digital artist and DJ Daniel Maegaard, popularly known as Seedphrase, has recently partnered with talent agency WME. In an exclusive press release received by NFT Now, Seedphrase has also revealed plans for new original music, a community project, and exclusive merchandise, all slated for release this year.
Building a Unique Brand
Seedphrase gained recognition in the crypto community for his iconic CryptoPunk helmet, which resembles his distinct Punk NFT. His aim is to combine the elements of crypto culture, music, and high-end fashion in an innovative way. Notably, Seedphrase made waves when he purchased CryptoPunk #8348 from the OG Punks 10K NFT collection, known for its rarity with seven unique attributes instead of the usual six.
CryptoPunks, being one of the pioneering NFT projects, holds significant value, drawing approximately $2.2 billion in trading volume according to CryptoSlam.
Symbolism Behind the Helmet
For Seedphrase, the helmet represents more than just a personal symbol. In an exclusive interview with NFT Now, Maegaard explained that Seedphrase embodies the sacred mentality shared within the emerging tech space. He views the wallet seed phrase as a gateway to what individuals hold dear in the digital realm. Seedphrase aspires to become a guiding light within the community, providing inspiration and direction.
Expanding Horizons with WME
Through its partnership with WME, Seedphrase seeks to forge stronger connections between luxury fashion, fine art, and music while embracing the growing significance of digital identity and intellectual property (IP). This move aligns Seedphrase with other musicians, such as Steve Aoki and Justin Blau (“3LAU”), who are establishing their digital presence through innovative IP mechanisms.
Joining a prestigious roster of Web3 personalities and collections, Seedphrase now stands alongside Boss Beauties, Pudgy Penguins, Claire Silver, Snoop Dogg, Mack Flavelle (co-founder of Dapper Labs), and many others who have also signed with the agency.
