The traditional music industry has long been plagued by inefficiencies and unfair compensation for artists. Andrew Antar, co-founder of Tune.FM, shared how his platform is tackling these issues by using the JAM token on Hedera Hashgraph.
Tune.FM enables artists to publish their music for free while allowing listeners to pay directly, cutting out costly intermediaries and ensuring fair payments for the artists.
