el niño estrella by Xcelencia

The Intro:

"El Niño Estrella" is the evolution of my upcoming album.

It's a unique, dynamic collectible that changes in connection with my artistic journey.

As a kid it felt that I had the biggest imagination!

We tend to lose that sense of wonder as we grow older but part of me held it close…that's how “El Niño” was born.

A concept album. It explores world building, multimedia, and innovation to tell my story.

el niño estrella stems from the idea that “stories transcend mediums..”

The Vision:

For this collection, I teamed up with Passage to bring the concept to life;

Passage develops crypto infrastructure for the new membership economy.

A. We’re innovating by using off chain Spotify streaming data as a trigger, here's how it works:

  • Trigger: The image changes if Xcelencia gets 100k or more streams on Spotify within any given calendar month. Streams can be from any mix of songs by Xcelencia.

B. The great part about dynamic nfts? The ability to update media, attributes, and traits over time.

Imagine community-sourced rulesets, tiers, onchain member engagement, and other off chain events updating your collectible.

The experience:

Think of the pass as an access key to my creative world, rewarding the community, and unlocking experiences.

The goal is to bring supporters into the heart of the creative process and incentivize the community to engage even after mint.

It’s a real time look into of the creativity behind my art, music, and career.

The Funds

On Dec 2021, I launched the Infinxte mirror crowdfunding campaign.

In 3 months we managed to raise ˜$50k to fund the Infinxte project!

The project went on to do some pretty cool things on/off chain! (I kept a public monthly log on Mirror)

Funds raised for ENE will finance operations, marketing efforts, produce engaging short-form lifestyle content, and create IRL activations like listening parties and showcases.
