Statement of Intention / My Values & Reason for Joining: I’m interested in participating in Gitcoin Governance because I actually used/use Gitcoin to help develop the dapp I am working on, I believe that Gitcoin can become one of the most valuable assests to the entire ecosystem. I also believe that the goal of opensource projects and decentralization is to empower people across the globe, and no other project accomplishes that like Gitcoin. I am able to work with talent that would be extremely difficult to find locally and accomplish tasks that would have been impossible to do alone.
What Web3 Qualifications / Skills I Have : I am a entry level solidity dev with some experience with react, however my real job is making music. I am a full time professional musician/producer who decided to develop a marketplace to help musicians get involved in NFTs. I was able to accomplish this through Gitcoin bounties which is why I have so much conviction and belief in this project. Currently there aren’t too many people involved in the rap industry working in web3, my goal is to bring a in a community to the space who has very little exposure at the moment. Musicians are extremely underpaid and this is no different in the rap industry, even rappers with millions of streams struggle to prosper in the current conditions. The amount of value contributed to society is not equal to their pay which is why I decided to disrupt the current model.
