For this episode of Unsigned Berlin we sit down with Daud Zulfacar, entrepreneur and web3.0 fanatic. Daud founded a web3.0 music licensing company, License Rocks, in 2017 which received over 1 million dollars in seed funding and backing from the EU. Now he is working on a new transparent ticketing system that can better service artists, fans, and venues, cutting out ticket scalpers and gamifying pricing. We talk about all this and more with Daud, including touching on how streaming could be improved, where independent artists are being taken advantage of, and much more!
