Watch Alesso Debut His First-Ever NFT at Dreamverse Festival In New York City
Alesso has set the tone for the future of NFTs by unveiling his debut drop, dubbed “Cosmic Genesis,” at Dreamverse, the world’s first-ever NFT art and music festival.

Alesso Suggests Artists Spend the Time to Learn About NFTs—Or Risk Missing Out
Dance music superstar Alesso recently cautioned artists unwilling to invest the time to learn about NFTs at the moment. “I think they will regret it in the future,” the hit-making producer stated on The Scoop podcast.

When asked about how his collea...
