CurrencyWorks' MusicFX Celebrates Parker McCollum's Academy of Country Music Awards Win

Los Angeles, CA. March 07, 2022 – CurrencyWorks Inc. (“CurrencyWorks” or the “Company”), CWRK CWRK, an award-winning, full-service blockchain platform provider, is pleased to announce that the first artist to sign to its MusicFX platform, Parker McCollum, has won Best New Male Artist at the 2022 Academy of Country Music (“ACM”) awards.

MusicFX is a partnership between CurrencyWorks and Crown & Ace, to build and power an NFT platform that serves the music industry, its artists, and music fans. Platinum-selling country music artist Parker McCollum was announced as the platform’s first partner in December 2021, with the inaugural NFT being launched shortly after.

That NFT, the Goldchain Cowboy Black Card: Signature Edition, attracted thousands of pre-launch sign-ups and account activations within hours of the product being announced to the public. Subsequently, the Signature Edition NFT sold out hours after going on sale exclusively on the MusicFX platform.

The prestigious ACM awards are “dedicated to honouring and showcasing the biggest names and emerging talent in the country music industry.” Former winners of the Best New Male Artist category include legendary stars Merle Haggard, Randy Travis, Kenny Chesney, and Keith Urban.

“I am absolutely thrilled for Parker and his team, we’re delighted he won his nomination,” said Cameron Chell, Executive Chairman of CurrencyWorks, and co-head of MusicFX. “Parker beat out some incredible competition to win, and I think it speaks to the calibre of artist that MusicFX is attracting. We have a really unique NFT platform proposition and the industry is recognising that, and I’m confident that we will soon be scaling up to host a stable of award-winning artists and bands.”
