The
Problem
Artist income is shrinking
Touring, streaming, and merchandise are no longer sustainable for most musicians.
Authentication Is Broken
Stickers, serial numbers, paper documents are easily counterfeited.
No gain on resale
Artists earn nothing on the secondary market. Authentic legacy vanishes.

In the media
Imagine the coolest estate sale ever or an antique store curated by artists.
Ghostnote is a revolutionary marketplace where music lovers can partake in a piece of musical history.
This isn't a "click and buy" drop. It's a deeper experience that brings the "specialness" of a one (or five) off Reggie Watts release. It also connects Watts with his fandom at a deeper level. As Watts puts it, "You experience the things you love, then let them go — I hope these records float around."
But the big thing that sets Ghostnote apart is a sophisticated authentication process that, according to Allen, means the artist gets paid not just when the item sells initially—but every time it sells after that.
