A songwriter has formed an artificial intelligence (AI) girl group called Skullz that will release non-fungible tokens (NFTs) rather than singles.
An NFT is a limited edition asset that’s sold without any physical form via blockchain, effectively providing certification of ownership.They have been hailed as a way to sell digital artwork and assets.
Inspired by the Spice Girls and K-pop, Skullz is described as an emo pop trio and the world’s first interactive virtual band.
As well as forming Skullz, Peter Kirtley, who has written hits for Celf 3 Hear’Say and Sugarbabes, has also founded a blockchain music label called Soundr for the group.
Soundr signs interactive virtual acts that will only ever exist in a collective virtual shared space known as the ‘metaverse’, according to the label’s website.
Skullz, the label’s first ‘signing’, will be having a launch party in the metaverse later this year.
