Garrett Hughes is a music and technology lover from Richmond, Virginia. His loves have collided a few times, most notably when he co-founded the music NFT platform Mint Songs, which thrived until it didn’t, ultimately sunsetting, until it rose from the ashes earlier this year, when the tech was purchased by Napster.

Today Hughes is an engineer at Dune Analytics, but he’s still an advisor at Napster and stays close to music. We chatted about his journey, covering everything from love to on-chain music trends to the great outdoors.
