Hello people of nostr! I am brand new here thanks to @Ian Carroll for sharing the info about this app on TikTok. I am a rock singer songwriter, and look forward to to checking out this new platform. I love the idea of a decentralized space for us all to freely share. Look forward to getting to know you. Danny

OK got it now. Thanks for the explanation. I’m feeling really stupid overwhelmed and a bit lost on here, but I’ll get it figured out.

Lot's of people are going to recommend Wavlake to you since you're a musician. If you're here for decentralization, I'd be cautious. It's another walled garden. If you check out the featured bands on this app (
LN Beats
Lightning Network Enabled, Decentralized Music For The Masses
 ), they're all decentralized musicians, able to be be paid directly by their fans, with no 10% cut to the app. And not a single one of these bands is playable on Wavlake, because Wavlake only plays your music if they host your music. If you're truly interested in decentralization, there's alternatives that are truly decentralized, like where you own all of your own content and don't have to host it on yet another platform.

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to check out my website! The guitar work is a combination of me and my good buddy and producer George Nardo. I guess when I get all my ducks in a row that’ll be the first song I put out here on Noster. Thanks again.

Was a pleasure to listen to! There are several artists posting their music on nostr and get paid in bitcoin but that corner of nostr isn't something I'm too familiar with. I'll tag my good nostr friend @Derek Ross, maybe he can give you some more information how that's done today.
