BACARDÍ rum and GRAMMY Award-winning producer, Boi-1da, are proud to debut the latest evolution of Music Liberates Music, an ongoing program from BACARDĺ designed to champion underrepresented voices in the music industry. For this year's program, BACARDĺ and Boi-1da have hand-selected three multifaceted, international female powerhouses – Bambii, Denise De'ion, and PERFXN – whose Caribbean-inspired sounds and production styles have the potential to mould the future of the music industry. Shining a light on the shocking statistic that only 2% of music producers are female, this year's Music Liberates Music program presents a new model of music fandom and artistic investment – one where fans and up-and-coming producers can share in the success of the music they love. With an expert ear for untapped talent, passion, and potential, Boi-1da helped BACARDĺ select the talent for this year's program: Bambii (Kirsten Azan) hails from Canada and is one of the country's most compelling Caribbean-inspired DJs and emerging producers. Similarly, Toronto-native Denise Thomas – professionally known as Denise De'ion – has been writing her own music and singing for more than two decades. Her dynamic sound is a blend of R&B, hip hop, and Caribbean influences, which is a reflection of her vibrant personality and artistic vision. Finally, Aviane Vargas, otherwise known as PERFXN, is a rising producer and fashion designer originally from New York City and the Dominican Republic, now based in Los Angeles, with a love for all things tropical and getting people to do what moves them. This summer, BACARDÍ hosted studio sessions with Bambii, Denise De'ion, and PERFXN in Los Angeles, giving them a chance to work collaboratively one-on-one with Boi-1da to finalise three new, high-energy, Caribbean-inspired tracks to be released this October. To truly put the power back into the hands of the artists and their fans, the tracks will be minted into an NFT (non-fungible token) and auctioned off as limited-edition tracks on the newly launched NFT marketplace, STURDY.EXCHANGE. For the first time ever, proceeds will go directly to the artist and 'fanvestors' who invest in the producers' work. Each NFT includes a percentage of the streaming royalties as part of the official Music Liberates Music 'Fanvestor Kit,' so the more the song gets streamed, the more the artist and their fans both make. This first-to-market model is particularly important for talent at the start of their career, while also helping to create a deeper connection with fans. To celebrate the launch of the program, BACARDÍ is debuting three producer profile digital shorts, directed and shot by MARZ and Jordan Wozy, to introduce this class of emerging talent to the world. Additionally, BACARDÍ has enlisted Australian 3D artist and designer, Serwah Attafuah, to create an exclusive piece of moving album cover artwork. An established name within the NFT art community, Attafuah brings her signature tropical-inspired cyber world, afro-futuristic, and female empowerment themes into the final pieces. The Music Liberates Music NFT Mixtape marks each of the three producers' first-ever NFT, which will go on sale daily at 8PM ET / 5PM PT starting on October 13th through October 17th, exclusively on STURDY.EXCHANGE for a limited time.
