Patrick Moxey, Founder of Ultra Music, is releasing an NFT collection under his new record label.
The NFT collection sold out hours after launch.

Patrick Moxey wants to shake up the music world with his new label, Helix Records. After parting ways with his brainchild, Ultra Music, the legendary music industry veteran is tunnel-visioned on embracing Web3 in his new venture.

Moxey has worked with some of the biggest names in the music business, including Coldplay, Jay-Z, Beyonce, and more. The producer aims to leverage his successful track record and kickstart his web3-powered music label with a creator-focused NFT collection, the Helix Records Genesis Pass.

On March 10, 2023, Helix Records released its Genesis Pass NFT collection on OpenSea. The NFT collection recorded a 3,333 supply, starting at a floor price of 0.03 ETH or approximately $42. The Helix Records Genesis Pass collection has sold out at press time, raising around $150,000.

The Genesis Pass will enable holders to become an integral part of the record label and access numerous benefits, including an opportunity to work with Patrick Moxey and his team.

Why You Should Care

Traditional record labels are notorious for unfair payouts and an abundance of middlemen.
