Although it’s becoming a common thing for famous artists to enter the crypto space with NFT collections, this case is different. Jesse Byron Dylan, one of the sons of Bob Dylan, is a co-founder of Snowcrash, an NFT marketplace on the Solana blockchain.

Recently, Sony Music Entertainment (SME) and Universal Music Group (UMG) partnered with Snowcrash and decided to release NFT collections of Bob Dylan and Miles Davis as pioneers on the platform.

Therefore, the digital art space has become a family business now. They did not reveal the NFTs themselves yet, so it might be both music NFTs as well as some digital art.
