Music and the Metaverse: Lucas Wilson and Jon talk about live performance, concerts, NFTs and more

Lucas Wilson is CEO of Supersphere, which produces immersive VR experiences for music. He's worked with major artists including Billy Eilish, Angels & Airwaves, Kid Cudi, Chance the Rapper, Steve Aoki, Major Lazer, Wiz Khalifa, Offset & Friends, Post Malone and Paul McCartney. In this conversation, Jon talks to Lucas about how musicians are innovating in the metaverse: we cover live performance in AR and VR--including some of the performances that have happened in Roblox and Fortnite; the Web3 connection to music including NFTs, the signing of Kingship (band based on Bored Apes Yacht Club), Grimes and Artificial Intelligence; the challenges of syncing multiple artists on the internet... and how music can bring us all together in new ways in immersive experiences we've never had.
