What inspired your interest in NFTs?
I’ve been working alongside both Rod and Stacey for a couple of years now on various other projects. They’ve mentioned and talked to me about NFT’s and the crypto world for the same amount of time. The more I saw how the world was and is moving and how their progressive thinking coincided with that, it seemed like the best and most natural way to progress as a team and move forward into the new ‘metaverse’ world.
What made you decide to get involved with NFT Drop?
It was a niche in the market, and I felt I had the right team and resources to be able to take advantage of a new business in the world. I looked at the market and saw that all the NFT companies were owned and ran by mostly programmers. The mixture that we had on our team was superior due to the different levels of business experience that we had with each member of our team. Rod, for example, is a technical expert and Stacey is a marketing expert, combined with my business expertise; it gives us a stronger position to compete in the marketplace.
How did you first become aware of NFTs?
Originally it all started with the idea brought to me by both Stacey and Rod. I also did a lot of my own research and by staying on top of the information, I realized there was something here and we needed to go for it.
You have been collecting some very interesting clients, please tell us about them and about their collection?
We are currently working with former multi-platinum Death Row Records producer, Chris “The Glove” Taylor on some upcoming NFT drops that include art, original music, graphic novels and trading cards. Our other projects currently in the works include prominent memorabilia, realizing music from other artists and artwork for the metaverse.
What do you see is the future for NFT Drop?
I believe NFT drop will be recognized as the ‘go to’ place for their NFT’s. I feel we will be the authentic and reliable company that will be genuine to an investor’s investment. All of our NFT’s bring value to the purchasers and to the artists, as well as future buyers.
How did you, Stacey, and Rod come to create the company?
We discussed and collaborated for a very long time leading up to us pulling the trigger and creating NFT Drop, LLC.
What projects or projects are you most looking forward to?
ALL OF THEM!! They are all unique and individual in their own way! They are all exciting and all come with some amazing benefits along with it!
