We at KIL DAO are excited to continue the growth and upward trajectory of our MetaStraits series with Volume 4 & Volume 5 this month, after the record results were hit from MetaStraits Volume 3. To recap MetaStraits pairs 2 artists from 2 different countries in Asia for each Metaverse performance to achieve a cross pollination of fans in attendance just like the model of a physical music festival.

Note on Strategy: Having experimented with a range of formats for our Metaverse performances over the past few months, we are focussing our efforts on doubling down on one series: MetaStraits. Our medium-term goal now is to also begin framing the series as a talent context between the artists, measured by how many fans they are able to onboard into the NEAR ecosystem. The artist who onboards the most fans by 31 December will have their EP funded and produced by KIL in collaboration with NEAR. KIL DAO has also been in email talks with physical venues in Singapore and Malaysia to collaborate on a hybrid version of MetaStraits, leveraging on the metaverse performances as a means of premiering talent which can then be featured physically live on physical stages.

For now, we are focussing on hosting the shows. KIL DAO aims to continue the series with Volume 4 & 5 of MetaStraits on the last week of August, with a view to continue consistently featuring bigger and better talent which pulls larger crowds. In fact, for Singapore talent KIL DAO has secured Instagram Verified producer Foxela from Singapore for a live DJ set, and a singer-songwriter from the biggest Singapore indie label Where Are The Fruits.

Hi all at @creativesdao-council ! Just wanted to update everyone on the "singer-songwriter from the biggest Singapore indie label Where Are The Fruits " referred to in the proposal above. In this regard we are pleased to have confirmed Umar Sirhan for MetaStraits Volume 4! You can check out his music on Spotify here. He’s currently performing at over 50,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

Our other Singaporean artist, Foxela, is performing at over 85,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. You can check out his music on Spotify here.

While we would never want to over-promise + under-deliver, we would like to take this moment to express how excited we are here at KIL DAO for August 2022, as these 2 artists represent a new level of verified talent which we have unlocked with goodwill and trust through consistent execution and growth of our MetaStraits series.

Really looking forward to this round and thank you all for your time! Also shoutout to @JudeKIL for the guidance.
