2025 was what it was. Let’s turn 2026 into what it could be. ✨

Musik på svenska 🇸🇪 Music in Swedish 🇸🇪 I wrote and recorded a tribute to the native land where I grew up, in northern Sweden. Not sure if it’ll make sense to an international audience here on Nostr, but here it is ✨🎶

An interesting turn. This track already seems to have found a new audience beyond the usual music platforms. It’s been inspiring to watch it grow and really fun to follow along. Big thanks to everyone for the support 🙏🖤 Curious to see how far this could go against the old behemoths like Spotify, Amazon, etc. If you’re enjoying the music, there’s more to discover… and even more on the way 🎸⚡💥

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about value-for-value, Nostr, and how music might evolve outside the legacy industry. My sense is that we’re going to see the old and new worlds operating side by side for a number of years, each serving different audiences, before anything fully settles into its final form. It’s probably unrealistic to expect many established legacy artists to join this space anytime soon. The reasons are many, including long-lasting contracts, increased financial uncertainty, and limited ways to reach genuine music fans. The two worlds aren’t very compatible and don’t translate well into each other. It may be far more likely to see a new class of established artists emerge entirely within the v4v universe. Their street cred would be sky-high, since it would come from genuine listener support rather than marketing budgets or corporate hype. I think we only need a handful of real success stories before things start spreading organically. Artists who are creating because they actually have something to say are probably the first ones who will get curious about this model. They are often underserved in the legacy world. People often point to the Radiohead “pay what you want” release as a successful example of direct fan support. It was an important moment, but it does not fully translate here. Today, v4v largely relies on Bitcoin, which still limits the size of the potential support. That friction will likely decrease over time. What could really accelerate adoption is the possibility for artists to earn meaningful income while reaching an audience that is actively looking for new, independent music. If that happens, it would not only strengthen v4v as a model, but also help onboard more people to Bitcoin itself. I think this is still early, and I’m curious to see where it goes. The potential for a bright future is definitely here. #grownostr #wavlake #v4v #bitcoinMusic #music #deMu #valueVerse #musicstr #stemstr #value4value #musicians #tunestr #fountain #v4vmusic

Some people mentioned both Depeche Mode and Bowie when they first heard this track. I’m not sure I can live up to that, but it’s flattering nonetheless. Check it out if you want. Composed, recorded and performed by myself. #music #nostrMusic #v4v #gothic

While Nostr may not be fully embraced as a music platform just yet, I’m excited to keep sharing new releases and see how the community evolves. The biggest challenge right now seems to be reaching a broader audience. I’d love to see the Nostr universe grow into the go-to space for social media, with RSS music and V4V becoming the top destinations for discovering, enjoying, and supporting independent music.
