A story…

el niño was a slow and meticulous release using what I had available to me at the time.

During summer 2023 I launched a dynamic nft to bring people into this world. The NFT evolved based on offchain data like monthly streaming numbers.

Beyond a dynamic NFT and access pass there was more to it. A story, the story of el niño and the concept of following your imagination - it was my take on “branding, storytelling, and identity for the foreseeable future.

I then tried to raise about ˜$50,000 or 32 ETH using a 1/1 Executive producer model during the ‘bear market’ to get the project off the ground. (more an experiment than anything else)

My expectations were low, but there were expectations, never would I have been able to predict the support, feedback, and sales we got all around for this project.

All of this to say, I am still thankful, still building, still looking for new ways to reward our supporters!

2025 is a break thru year for us that we believe will set in motion a domino effect of growth 💫
