World’s First Metastar Plays 30+ Shows in Austin: Angelbaby Dominates SXSW

Angelbaby, the world’s first metastar, or fully virtual artist native to the metaverse, will take fans on a journey in Austin this March, performing as part of SXSW. Fans and curious music lovers can enter a dome structure and join the metastar on a fully immersive whirlwind experience.

SXSW attendees can catch  The ANGELBABY Experience: A Metastar Showcase at the FLUF Dome World (313 Red River) on March 12-15th, 2022. Angelbaby will perform three showcases a day.. The experience is free for any SXSW badge (recommended but not required) or FCFS for community members holding FLUF, PB, Thingie, or ASM; VIP Lanyards and special traits get priority access.

Angelbaby is part of Hume, the first NFT music label and entertainment studio launched in September 2021. Hume represents a collective of creatives from the present and artists from the future it calls metastars. Metastars do what all big artists do: make killer tracks, play great shows, gain an obsessive fan following. In 5 months, Angelbaby, for example, blew the crowd away at Art Basel Miami,shared the stage with TPain and Chromeo at a recent Superbowl Party in LA and has over 1 million dollars in NFT’s on the market

But metastars do what artists can’t. They can be everywhere at once, including in virtual worlds. They can sell out drop after NFT drop of custom scenes for FLUF World, reward token-holding fans with perks both digital and IRL, and continue to tease new music—all while fighting for the metaverse to remain free. 

“Angelbaby and Hume are pushing storytelling and entertainment boundaries. The tech is just a part of it,” explains Jay Stolar of Hume. “The real point is what you do with it, with the connections and excitement that can get several hundred people to fly in for the debut of an NFT artist, or snap up an airdrop, after this artist has only been out there for a few months.”

“There’s a lot of talk out there about NFT record label this, and virtual artist that. But it’s all talk,” says AngelBaby. “We’re already here. We’re real. While they’re still talking, we’re already doing it.”
