The Mastercard Artist Accelerator harnesses the power of art and tech by giving emerging artists the tools to record and collaborate in Web3 and build a community of fans. The first two artists joined the program Friday: Latin neo-soul singer Manu Manzo, based in Miami, and London R&B/soul singer Young Athena, and Manzo performed and appeared on panels at SXSW. Through a limited-edition Mastercard Music Pass NFT minted on Polygon, fans will be able to access exclusive content and learn how to use Web3 tools alongside them.
