Welcome to Yoshka, a groundbreaking hackathon project that aims to revolutionize the way songs are structured, valued, and owned. We have leveraged the power of the Celo blockchain and harnessed Bunzz for DApp deployment to create a platform that introduces an entirely new paradigm for the music industry.

Our Vision

At Yoshka, we envision a future where music transcends traditional boundaries and becomes an interconnected network of creativity, collaboration, and ownership. Inspired by the concept of Matryoshka dolls, our platform transforms songs into a tapestry of individual elements, allowing for layered ownership, value attribution, and seamless royalty management.

The Problems We Solve

Fragmented Song Ownership and Royalties Management

Traditional music distribution and ownership structures often result in fragmented ownership of songs and difficulties in managing royalties. Yoshka addresses this problem by introducing NFTs to tokenize individual song stems and complete compositions. This enables seamless royalty management and automated recognition of contributors, ensuring that artists are accurately compensated for their creative contributions.

Limited Creative Control for Artists

In conventional music production, artists might lack control over their creations once they're released. Yoshka empowers artists with greater creative control by enabling them to tokenize and manage their music's individual components through NFTs. This way, artists can assert ownership and control over their work, even after it's shared with the world.

Lack of Direct Recognition and Fair Compensation

Collaborators and contributors to a song often struggle to receive fair recognition and compensation for their contributions. Yoshka's NFT-based approach ensures that contributors are automatically recognized and rewarded whenever their work is used or shared. This solves the problem of fair compensation for various contributors, including musicians, producers, and songwriters.

Key Innovations

Stem Uploads: Redefining Song Creation

In the absence of a full-fledged Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), Yoshka enables users to upload song stems. These stems are the fundamental building blocks of music, representing individual components that collectively form a harmonious whole.

Tokenization: Empowering Artists with NFTs

With Yoshka, each stem and the assembled song itself is transformed into a unique NFT (Non-Fungible Token). This ingenious approach embeds ownership and value directly within the digital creation, empowering artists with a new level of recognition and creative control.

Automated Royalty Management

Our platform revolutionizes the way royalties are distributed. Through the power of NFTs, contributors are automatically recognized and compensated for their creative contributions. This ensures that every artist receives their due recognition and financial rewards.
