[Forum Meeting] BeatDAO Community

Hello NEAR Community!

BeatDAO is on-chain since late November 2021. We’re a DAO created by music producers, for music producers. After being in the NEAR ecosystem for a while (7 months), we decided to introduce its members to the broader community on NEAR, in order to let you know who we are, what we are doing, what role we have in Creatives DAO, and what we’re working on in order make it as a DAO.


Quick overview what BeatDAO did:

What BeatDAO is doing and working on:

  • BeatDAO is an active council member in Creatives DAO with 176 casted votes,

  • We’re supporting music producers and musicians on NEAR, by buying their NFTs to the BeatDAO’s treasury,

  • Building our own space in NEARverse with the huge help of NEAR HUB,

  • Providing free music knowledge by world-known professional music engineers and producers via Music Clinic,

  • Highlighting talents within our community by Beat Attack,

  • Running community engagement activities like Hip-Hop Trivia on Telegram, Rhymes N Flow, Flippin Samples, or Re-making Show,

  • Working currently on an NFT PFP project in order to strengthen even more our community, and build a fundament for the upcoming tool, which we’d like to implement in the long-term run (works behind the scenes have already started).


If you are a member of the BeatDAO, or you are aspiring to be one, please share some info like:

  • Your music portfolio and experience,
  • Your experience with crypto,
  • Your other passions,
  • Your social media,
  • Your NEAR wallet name.

Moreover, feel free to add answers to the below questions in your introduction:

  • When did you join BeatDAO?
  • Where are you from?
  • What impact BeatDAO have on you, your career, and your skills?
  • How you would like to contribute to the BeatDAO community in the long-term run?

We’re looking forward to our further development in the NEAR ecosystem and expansion as a DAO!

Stay Creative,
BeatDAO Council

Let me open the floor! :slight_smile:

I’m Paul, based in Poland, founder of the BeatDAO (along with @vandal), making music since late 2011, I’m a self-learner in that matter.
I’m also a council member in NxM DAO (#nxm-dao) and in DAOrecords (#daorecords).

BeatDAO has a meaningful impact on me and my skills as a producer, as I believe that I’ve grown thanks to the collaboration with other producers and rappers, that I met on NEAR, and of course thanks to Music Clinic my self-learned knowledge can be updated with professional know-how around mixing.
Currently working on an EP with @Dedeukwu.

I’ve entered the crypto world at the beginning of 2021 (but I was thinking about that since March 2020 :sweat_smile:)

I’m really excited that I’m able to experiment with DAOs and music, learn new skills, get to know the essence of a DAO, and meet new folks here, it’s definitely something unusual and special, as only sky is the limit here!

Hello Beatdao Fam, I’m The Tune, a Versatile Singer and positive/open minded Aesthete, from Lagos Nigeria,

I have always loved to make musical sounds since my childhood, from drumming at church from early childhood to singing at the back of classes at junior school and secondary, I’ve had the stuff in me.

Somewhere along the line after graduation from institution, i found myself in a situation that made me feel making music, anyhow, at God’s pace for me is what should be my major calling. It happened to me in 2019, since then i have been creating awareness about my music how i could, little by little.

Somewhere along the line i came across the Near protocol communities in C1 and Beatdao, at which eventually i was introduced to more Near Daos. It was really great joining the crypto Daos/Communities.
Knowing myself, i started asking questions and connecting upon joining the system and it has helped me greatly as a musician. So many positives i have accumulated and i am thankful to the communities and creatives which i have worked with and will work with. I can say that BEATDAO is MY favourite Dao because i love the fact that i can collaborate with producers from there and make really good music, it’s that easy for me, i just want to make good music and beauty with positive souls and turn them into digital assets in NFTS.

This strategy has helped me buiild myself, others, and the BeatDao community. I also want to give a shout out to all producers in Beatdao and those i have worked with, cheers to more collaboration and Positivity famz.

Hello BeatDao Fam
My name’s Abdulrahman Damilola alias “Scarman” with the Near tag ( ace17.near) ,an Afrobeat singer and song writer From Nigeria,
I joined beatDAO around April 2022.
To be honest BeatDAO has really been amazing for me the opportunity to create and connect with other artists whilst gaining knowledge with Renumeration from the DAO is really amazing.
BeatDAO has helped me see beyond my usual scope of music , opening my eyes to a whole new other world I didn’t have access to from the start of my career. Might i add that I’ve known about crypto as far back as 2018 but i really got into crypto right around the period i joined BeatDao so it’s also been instrumental in my crypto journey.
Started Making music professionally around October 2016 but prior to that i had immense love for music hence i was a regular music freestyler nothing serious though.But through out the years I’ve had the opportunity to work with other creatives where I’m from and it’s been a self fulfilling journey even though i know i haven’t broken the iceberg yet.

BeatDAO is a solid platform for all artists in Web3 and Web2 music too and I’ll love to contribute my quota into making it a much more better platform for all artists including myself to much more better showcase our creativity and talents.

Wassup BeatDAO, WASSUP!!! :fire::fire::fire:

My name’s Gabriel. I’m a singer, songwriter, and a fledgling music producer. I play a little piano, a little guitar, some drums, the recorder :smile::smile:
I currently live in Nigeria.

Because music production is not my strongest suit, I have settled to enjoying the immense talent gathered on the platform BeatDAO has provided. There are incredibly talented producers on BeatDAO :heart_eyes::heart_eyes: and fire :fire: rappers and singers too.

I can’t forget the amazing opportunity of having world-class mixing engineer Blake Harden share insights in a live workshop and our last Music Clinic workshop where I got my first live professional guitar lessons.

BeatDAO gave me the opportunity to create a masterpiece with @Mubzy titled “Feeling Lucky” (link below). I’ve had the opportunity to meet incredible people and get opportunities.

Check out some of my songs on Tamago

I started making music on the portatone Yamaha 270 as an amateur utility church musician in a small church in ikorodu Lagos ,all the experience I had before hand was from watching my siblings do music in their little choir groups and at home , i come from a family of musicians,I’d make simple patterns and composition on the church keyboard as i always wanted to be a producer and performer . I went ahead to University at the Lagos state university to study mass communication(communication technology)i also at some point got a certificate in presentation at pefti Lagos, and afterwards pursued my career as a keyboard player in church . next I started doing band music and have played with Nigerian Afro soul singer Djinee and later MI Abaga of chocolate city and now Incredible Music ( one of the most influential Rap icons in the Nigerian music industry till date) and this exposed me more and Fueled my passion to create my own sounds . I worked as a co - producer on “MI2” (The aforementioned rappers second Album) on two tracks featuring Praise ( RNB / souls singer ) and Ruby Gyan ( Afro soul singer of chocolate city/ loopy music ).I moved on to work with more artistes and got production credits on “Lafiaji “Album of another Rapper ( two time lyricist on the roll,best rap song of the year winner(2015) in the Hiphop world award in Nigeria, a song called “King Kong” multiple award winning rap song in Nigeria.

I won 2nd place in beat submission contest on Beat Dao and have been opportuned to collaborate with Nearxpublish , Paul Crans , on a recent song release “ who did that” that is presently on the tamago open mic contest, please vote and wish me luck .lol. We also minted on mintbase and with the love and support from friends in the nxp Iv been able to secure my mintbase store with lots of releases in the kitchen and soon to come as I’m presently collaborating with beat Dao friends and fellow artistes and producers …I’m also proud to say I was one of the testers of the tamago app before it became public, my experience here has opened my mind to more possibilities and I dream of becoming a near evangelist everywhere I go . It’s been a hell of a ride so far and I look forward to more !!
I’m presently working on various recordings with near artistes like @Dedeukwu @Scarmanbaba @BigM007 @reespect @TheTune100 and I’m hoping to put together a project in the near future , hopefully with the support of the BeatDao community’s .I’m also putting ideas together to create a legacy here on the near ecosystem for others to get inspiration and support .
