From Bandcamp to Blockchain: How to Evolve Your Digital Storefront for Web3 |
|
f you’re an independent artist, chances are you’ve used Bandcamp—or at least considered it—as your go-to digital storefront. For years, Bandcamp has been one of the few platforms that actually respected the artist. It let you set your own prices, sell merch and music directly, and keep a decent cut. It felt like a breath of fresh air in a world dominated by streaming pennies and invisible algorithms. But let’s face it: even Bandcamp is part of the Web2 ecosystem. That means you’re still relying on someone else’s platform, and still playing by rules you didn’t write. |

Our Cover Artist Susan Anders |
Susan Anders is a singer-songwriter whose music blends Americana, folk, pop, and jazz with emotionally resonant vocals and insightful, often witty lyrics.
Born and raised in Berkeley, California, she earned degrees from UC Santa Cruz and San Francisco State before launching into a musically adventurous early career. During her twenties, she performed across Northern California with a cappella, jazz, rock, and Motown bands—while also making ends meet through delightfully unconventional gigs like delivering singing telegrams with a table strapped around her waist and teaching doo-wop to Buddhist monks. |
