UK singer and songwriter, George Alan O’Dowd – professionally known as “Boy George” – has signed a deal with cryptocurrency payment company to issue exclusive digital contents on their new Crypto.com NFT Marketplace.
Prior to the partnership with Crypto.com, Boy George said he has previously sold some artworks for a huge amount of money, although the proceeds were donated to charity.
NFT is Making More Arts Available to People
While speaking with Maria Bartiromo on “Morning with Maria”, Boy George admitted that he was excited about the deal to create exclusive NFT contents for the Crypto.com NFT marketplace. He added that the booming NFT market provides people with the opportunity to fully own their content and have relationships with them.
Boy George recently auctioned an artwork for the UK National Health Service (NHS).
[…] so far this year I’ve sold stuff and it’s been for charity, which has been amazing. That’s a nice kind of acknowledgment for being a creative person. I don’t think this is a replacement for large shows because this is a new emerging sort of world that’s happening and people are collecting art in a different way. Also, art is now available to more people.
