Jack Spallone started his music career talent-buying for live performances and artist management while still an undergrad. In 2016, he became an early contributor of Ujo Music, the ConsenSys project that introduced the first music cases on Ethereum. While at ConsenSys, Jack also worked with Harry Fox Agency and SESAC to secure the winning bid to be the technology partner of the MLC, among other enterprise client work.

Jack has built a reputation as a web3 music pioneer. He has helped artists enter into the web3 ecosystem to explore new format releases, artist DAOs, and crypto-based community building tools. Apart from continuing to help artists, Jack is an investor and advisor to several music web3 startups and an active participant in the dialogue shaping web3 music.

Today, along with long time collaborator and grammy-winning Andre Anjos (aka RAC), Jack leads a team of people building a data sharing protocol for music applications; Oscillator, and a music review and sharing app, Factory.
