We had the good fortune of connecting with Louis King and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Louis, what role has risk played in your life or career?
As an entertainment artist in the crypto web3 space , risk is the name of the game. I have always put it all on the line for my Career because I’ve felt a calling to serve something bigger than myself. My mentality on success is a reflection of 2pac’s quote “Against All Odds”.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I make music & visual art and then I sell them as NFTs or non fungible tokens on various blockchain music platforms such as Gala Music. Since I brought my music to web3 I have been able to find much success. To give context, it pays about $3000/4000 per million streams on Spotify & Apple Music. While there are many ways to earn money in the music industry, very few artists actually earn 6+ figures directly off of streams alone. Artists like Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar & Drake…and me; and I can show you how you can earn money directly from your music on the blockchain without having to rely merely on streams. I want artists to feel empowered by Blockchain Technology and I want them to understand that web3 and crypto are tools that they can use to change their lives.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my friend was visiting I would have them checkout one of our Mic Sessions workshops in Los Angeles Monday Nights via aim4theheart.org.

Friday Nights you can catch me live in Marina Del Rey at the Killer Yacht Club Westside Fridays with “House of Vibe All Stars”. Renown as one of the best spots in the city for Live Music on Friday Nights.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to shout out the Yoruba House, a Los Angeles based African Drum & Dance Community organization created by my Mom & Dad which showed me to think outside of the box when selling your music. Additionally I want to send recognition to Aim4theheart.org , another non profit organization I have worked with for many years to bring assemblies into schools, prisons and community spaces utilizing music and poetry to teach emotional literacy.
