Episode show notes

Jason Colapietro (founder, Suede Labs) on why music IP is the next big asset class — and how an artist-owned, on-chain stack puts the people doing the work back in control.

We get into:

  • Why songwriters and producers lose rights & revenue at every layer of the legacy stack
  • Music IP as a real-world asset (RWA) — tokenizing rights so creators own and earn from their catalog
  • How AI use of music should pay the original creator, not the platform
  • Why Web3 distribution unlocks new audiences for independent artists
  • Building Suede Labs on Base — the music stack for creators
