WELCOME TO INTERNET OF ARTISTS

A London based company creating platforms to make art possible

INTERNET OF ARTISTS brings artists together, connecting them with the businesses of their related industries.

By providing innovative tools and services, artists are supported throughout their
artistic development and professional career.

The company is managed by a global team with extensive experience in the
Arts, Business, Digital Media and Product Development.

MISSION

Making a Contribution

Becoming an Artist today is very difficult.

The current system is fragmented, dated, costly and filled with obstacles. Tools and services along the journey lead to time, money, and focus waste as well as productivity and motivation loss.

We strive to disrupt the music industry with decentralized finance, connecting musicians, services and investors like never before.

Our final goal is to make Artists’ work profitable from day one and, more in general, to allow anyone who takes part in this
new ecosystem to be rewarded instantly.
