Nifty Sax

Who is NiftySax?

Nifty Sax is Milo Lombardi, award-winning saxophonist, composer and Music Director.

I’ve been a musician all my life. I studied classical and jazz, I graduated from a top institution, I received awards and played in front of 1000s of people with my jazz quartet and dozens of other bands.

When live music went away in 2020, I took that as an opportunity to search for new avenues to release and monetize my music. I found an answer in blockchain technology.
Together with my peers, like SpottieWIFI, Veritè, Domino, Latasha and and other brave music creators, I helped pioneer music NFTs in web3.

Nifty Sax Spheres was the first project by a solo instrumentalist to blind mint music with a rarity structure on a custom ERC-721 contract.

I also co-founded Nifty Music, a music NFT incubator helping fellow artists create their own successful projects (Moonshot, Love Letters, Rae’s Rock Collection etc.).
Nifty Music projects generated over 500 ETH in traded volume, collectively.

I have been on-boarding fellow music creators to web3 since early 2021 and our Nifty Music Academy, an 8-week music NFT course, is one of the first music NFT educational platforms in the world.

Releasing music on the blockchain and innovating in web3 feels like the culmination of my career as an artist.
