Philippines’ First Music NFT Band: We Know Karate
We Know Karate, the Philippines’ inaugural music NFT band, is set to release its first single, “I and I,” on a Web3 platform. This release offers fans a unique opportunity: ownership rights to the song and the chance to participate in the band’s growth. The band comprises Lean and Chi from Chelsey Alley, and Reg Rubio of Greyhoundz.
This collaboration began when Reg Rubio approached Chi Evora and Lean Ansing with an innovative concept: using NFTs to cultivate a stronger connection with their fanbase and build a community. This marks a significant advancement for the Philippine music industry.
When I called Chi up, I laid out the direction and possible arrangements, but I gave them freedom to write the music, as that’s their strength. I think it’s the way to go. It’s a chance for artists to reach out, get paid well, and create a community that owns the song as well.

NFTs present a potential solution to the inadequate compensation artists currently receive from streaming platforms. This technology could usher in an era where musicians transact directly with consumers and sell self-produced digital releases, similar to past models involving self-produced CDs. It also lets artists show appreciation for fan support via unique digital content access.
About the Song: I and I
This song centers on overcoming obstacles such as self-doubt, breaking free from repeated failure, and ultimately realizing that the only competition is oneself.



We’ll be releasing 1000 NFTs for our music, and you can own one too. You’ll have proof of co-ownership. Internationally, artists like Slipknot, Snoop Dogg, and Kings of Leon have already started this. We’re thinking of perks like merch from brands we’re under, such as Macbeth, Tribal, and Medisina. We’ll also choose winners to hang out with us at various locations with each drop, adding more perks per drop.
