BRAZIL, Aug. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (via Blockchain wire) – UREEQA (https://www.ureeqa.com/), a blockchain platform for protecting, managing and monetizing creative work, today announced it will provide a Package of Proof for Roupa Novas lead guitarist Kiko Pereira’s exclusive NFT. The sale is being executed by Abrakazum in partnership with UREEQA, the exclusive worldwide provider of Responsibly Minted™ NFTs. UREEQA’s Package of Proof mints the work as a Validated NFT, certifying the ownership, authorship and originality of Pereira’s creative work.
As a Validated NFT, Pereira’s work will be displayed in the UREEQA Premium Protected Collection, where anyone can see the validation steps taken to certify the NFT. Additionally, a one-way hash of the Package of Proof will be permanently written to the Ethereum blockchain. The detailed Package of Proof ensures buyers that the NFT was only minted after the source creative work was thoroughly validated.
Pereira will tokenize an exclusive autographed guitar from his collection, used in the recording of the “Roupa Nova em Londres” DVD at the iconic Abbey Road Studios -- the DVD won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Portuguese Language Contemporary Pop Album -- plus a certificate of authenticity signed by the guitarist, as well as a stunning piece of crypto art in a unique and exclusive NFT.
“I immediately connected with the project brought to me by Abrakazum, as I have always been a musician interested in technology,'' said Kiko Pereira. “NFTs allow a new kind of interaction between artists and their fan base, and I’m excited to work with UREEQA, a team that values both creativity and ownership.”
“Music is one of the expertises at Abrakazum and it’s a privilege to bring to the market an NFT by one of Brazil’s most prominent guitar players,” said Kelpo Gils, founder of Abrakazum. “NFTs are a digital revolution that artists, athletes, celebrities and brands are adopting. It’s a new way to create and sell art on the internet; and we’re thrilled to be a part.”
“UREEQA is helping create security and transparency for both Creators and those purchasing creative works,” said Harsch Khandelwal, CEO of UREEQA. “We’re working to solve the long standing issue of copyright protection and verification, and are thrilled to host Kiko Pereira’s NFT auction to help him accomplish this for his work.”
