Music maestro A R Rahman, on his birthday (January 6), revealed more information about his much-talked about metaverse project ‘Katraar’ (a group of learned people who can change the world in Tamil), a digital platform for independent musicians and artists.
The platform will enable artists and musicians to list and monetize their creation in music and other art forms, said the award-winning musician in a short video about his dream project.
Many international standard creations will be in this platform soon.
The musician will also release some of his exclusive creations through the ‘Katraar’ platform, which will be deployed on HBAR Foundation’s Hedera Network.
Rahman said that he’s working with HBAR Foundation to do many “cool things”, one being to bring a lot of NFTs, which are rare and unique in music, art, storytelling. He also referred to an “undisclosed project based on virtual beings”, which he said will find a “whole new expression to free thoughts trapped in an older form”.
