Huge Names in the NFT World Have Contributed to Timbaland’s NFT Project
Jennifer and Kevin McCoy created the first NFT of the art world in 2014. It was later sold for $1.4 million.
These artistic geniuses are responsible for the accompanying artwork of Timbaland’s collection also. Moreover, it’s inspired by the ’70s and features music equipment from that era.
“The NFT phenomenon is deeply a part of the art world. It emerged from the long history of artists engaging with creative technology.”
Kevin McCoy
“It’s exciting to take our art and technology practice and partner with Timbaland to introduce this groundbreaking Music NFT collection. We are thrilled to respond to this music celebrating the origins of R&B with algorithmically driven visuals.”

Fans will have an opportunity to receive part of Timbaland’s collection for free. Big collectors of the Opera Noir NFTs will also be provided with an online mix board. This will allow them to create their own musical designs with Timbaland beats.
“Music NFTs are now part of our business. They offer musicians a new way to express themselves and interact with fans.”
