Grimes' NFT Success Surpasses Music Career Earnings

Canadian musician Grimes, also known as Claire Elise Boucher, revealed in an interview with Wired that she made more money from non-fungible tokens (NFTs) than from her entire music career. Grimes earned approximately $6 million in revenue by selling her "War Nymph" NFTs on Nifty Gateway, featuring digital artworks set to her music. Despite the decline in NFT trading volume, Grimes remains hopeful that NFTs can help artists profit from their work. She is also optimistic about Web3 and AI, having contributed to TikTok's NFT collection and planning to create a metaverse children's book with support from Web3 AI platform OP3N and Avalanche's development fund. Grimes even invited fans to use an AI version of her voice to create new music, offering a 50/50 split on royalties.
