Release music like never before with Releap founders William and Aaron

Co-founders William and Aaron provide a deep look into their inspiration for creating Releap, a Solana and Arweave based music NFT platform created to "empower emerging and major artists with new ways of gaining exposure, engaging with fans, and monetizing their work". When building a service, it can be a major benefit to intimately know the issues with the status-quo that the founders are looking to improve upon. In Releap's case, this is part of the genesis for creating the service. As a band member playing gigs in Hong Kong, it just wasn't enough to financially sustain the group's efforts - and that's where William became inspired to look to an entirely new model of music - NFTs. Releap has done an amazing job with their UI/UX, and they're continually making improvements to lean into the social components of listening to music. Borrowing from the likes of SoundCloud with timestamped comments, it does feel inherently social while enjoying a fresh track. Be sure and listen to some tracks at Releap.ioAlso, follow @onlyarweave for all things Arweave related :)
