Songs Recorded By Beyoncé And The Weeknd Sell Out Royalty Interests On Vezt, The World's First Blockchain Music Rights App

LOS ANGELES, May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Vezt, the world's first blockchain-based music IP app, saw royalty interests for "I Been On," as recorded by Beyoncé and "Can't Feel My Face," as recorded by The Weeknd, sell faster than any others in the app's history.

Vezt's Initial Song Offering® process allows music fans to provide songwriters, artists, producers, labels and publishers with an advance in return for the right to receive fractional royalty payments over time. 

On May 6th, Vezt launched an ISO for the song "I Been On" as recorded by Beyoncé, a title which was recently released on HΘMΣCΘMING: THE LIVE ALBUM. The first few hours of the launch saw users put more than $25,000 toward the ISO, contributing from $5 - $10,000 each, to complete the rights holder's fundraising goal of $50,000 by the end of the week. 

On May 15th, an ISO for the song "Can't Feel My Face" as recorded by The Weeknd raised $20,000 in just under 12 hours. With a steady uptick in success stories like these, the platform is quickly earning a name as the new fundraising method accessible to the music industry at-large. The platform also regularly sees ISOs for songs by independent artists sell out within one day.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, with a second office in Seoul, Vezt is rolling out a number of hit song ISOs this summer, continuing to raise interest in the music rights marketplace on a global level. Their mobile app is available on iOS and Android.
