Today Wave – the leader in virtual entertainment and the company behind interactive experiences for Justin Bieber and The Weeknd – is dropping its first NFT collection in collaboration with OneOf, the Quincy Jones’-backed, green NFT platform built specifically for the music community. OneOf has worked with the GRAMMY Awards, Doja Cat, The Game, The Breakfast Club, and many more, to bring NFT collections to fans. 

Now, Wave and OneOf are working together to launch a fan-edition NFT for EMPIRE’s Metaverse-born artist and producer Teflon Sega. The drop coincides with Teflon Sega’s highly anticipated follow-up performance, Dimensions Vol. 2. The interactive music experience will take place on Wave.Watch, on May 12 at 6pm.PT, also announced today. 

Wave first teamed up with Teflon on March 16, 2022, to create his first ever live performance in the metaverse – Dimensions Vol. 1 – offering a new and immersive experience where fans interacted with Teflon and influenced parts of the show in real time. The Teflon Sega NFT commemorates this event with an exclusive fan-edition concert poster that will be gifted to all first show attendees, supporters of Wave, and OneOf VIP pass holders. 

“We couldn’t be more excited to work with Teflon Sega and OneOf to launch our first NFT and fuel our mission to connect music fans with their favorite artists,” said Adam Arrigo, co-founder and CEO of Wave. “As a creator-centric and fan-forward company, we want to leverage innovative Web3 technologies to forge stronger artist-fan connections and superserve our core fans who want more touch points from the Wave experience. This moment is for Teflon Sega fans and Wave supporters who have been with us from the beginning. Their belief in our mission and what we do is what allows us to continue to push the industry forward in creating the future of virtual entertainment and the metaverse.”

Teflon’s second Wave show, Dimension Vol. 2 promises greater opportunities for audiences to engage with Teflon and will also include plenty of fan surprises.
