This is the FIRST TIME live audio from a Coachella set has EVER been on-chain. Anyone who collects this moment in history will be put on the allowlist for when the full video performance drops.
Much love to @lensprotocol & @beatsapp again for the merch & continued support!

friendly reminder to check your posture and move your body!
- Lately I've missed performing and engaging with a live audience.
While I'm deep in creation and healing mode, I'm so looking forward to what I'm dreaming up. The IRL activations I'm planning are beyond next level and I cannot wait to share!!
- this thing still on?
- GM #LensFrens! I’m still pretty new here, so I want to officially introduce myself...
I'm a multidisciplinary artist and entertainer known as Chíc Bangs. I love mixing mediums and genres as a visual artist, singer/songwriter, producer, broadcaster and DJ. I've had the opportunity to perform, host and exhibit my art in a variety of settings including club residencies, radio, fashion runway shows, art galas, festivals and metaverse events.
In 2021, I discovered web3 and have been experimenting with distribution and community building since then. I love the connections and friends I've made in such a short time and am excited about what we're building together. s/o @campfirexyz
I also love the healing arts and for the past decade have produced and facilitated experiences as a certified yoga, meditation and breathwork instructor. This year I will be utilizing blockchain tech to expand my offerings, so keep an eye out for some future activations!
My husband @custommodel and I have a super cool kiddo and we love to travel as a family. In 2019, we lived as nomads and it was a blast. Maybe a vanlife tour is in the future, who knows?
Thank you for the warm welcome here on Lens! I'm excited to explore this ecosystem and get to know the community here. You can find my music, offerings and drops here: https://chicbangs.com

- Nobody asked, but here’s my 2 MATIC (with a 20% referral fee) on the evolution of online interactions:
There once was a time when the “like” (👍) was the be-all and end-all in terms of measuring content effectiveness.
In the early days of social media, "likes" played a significant role in determining a post's popularity and reach. This was particularly true on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, where users could easily show their approval of a post by clicking the "like" button.
Likes were seen as ~thee~ measure of social validation. They also played a role in determining which content was promoted on a user's newsfeed or discover page, as posts with more likes were given priority 📈
However, in recent years, many social media platforms have started to de-emphasize likes as a measure of success. Some have even experimented with hiding like counts altogether in an effort to reduce the pressure on users to seek validation through likes and to promote more authentic engagement.
The goalposts of metrics are changing.
Vanity out. Value in.
Web2 platforms like Instagram and TikTok began treating content that had a high save to like ratio more favorably in terms of the algorithm 📱📊
And you know what’s better than a save (which is essentially a glorified bookmark)?
A collect. (Especially when it’s paid.)
This is the future of social media.
Even those on web2 social are catching on.
We’re no longer just interacting for the sake of interacting.
The possibility for more intentional responses encourages more intentional creation. And more intentional creation contributes to a value exchange that fosters a self-sustaining ecosystem ♻️
Here’s the desired hierarchy specific to #Lens:
#Collect - I need to own it
#Mirror - I need others to see it
#Comment - I need to share my opinion about it
#Like - This resonates
Do you see how little the L compares to the MCC in terms of existence?
Now, not every piece of content we make is necessarily created for the sake of attracting a lot of engagement or for making a lot of money. And to an extent, likes will always matter to one degree or another because they help indicate how much said content resonates with one's audience 👥
But it’s interesting to see the role value plays and what value means when both creators and collectors can engage on social media in ways that have not been possible previously.
I’m excited to continue to explore this relationship on @lensprotocol and I’m grateful for everyone who’s here now on the journey 🥹
What kind of value are you hoping to bring to and receive from Lens?

- I wanted to try something new.
This will be my first music release here on lens.
It's an early demo of my song "This Song" which came out in 2017. I probably wrote this on the road around 2015/2016. It has a lot of the final ideas, but totally different type of beat. This is what I showed Rostam, and we built from there.
It's unfinished and unpolished but it's kinda fun to look back at where ideas originated.

Yesterday was the equinox and today is the start of a new moon cycle, making it the perfect time to set some intentions and make changes.
What daily habits, creations & projects are you throwing onto the compost pile and what new seeds are you planting?
It can be helpful to think in increments of 3,6,9,12 months when setting intentions. A good place to start: where / what / who do you want to be by the Solstice at the end of June?
Share in the comments to amplify! I’m rooting for you and for us as a collective. LFG!!

- **Shadow Work**
There is a sense of melancholy that sometimes hits me. It has always been there, but recent events in my life have made this feeling a bit more prominent. Thankfully I have found solace in art, music, friendship, and family.
But there are times when I need to just sit with the feeling, and let go of the fight. I simply embrace it. This piece of music honours the shadow work we sometimes undertake; the process of navigating through the darkness in order to find light.

““Quiet Storm Hourz" is a modern song that draws inspiration from the classic 1970's radio program, The Quiet Storm. With evocative lyrics that blend real-life events such as the passing of rapper Takeoff and the experience of having his car repossessed, alongside dream sequences, all set to moody and atmospheric production from Divus. Featuring incredible artwork from Brooke. D, the track pays homage to its influences while presenting something fresh and innovative. As an extension of Dom's AfterhOurz brand, "Quiet Storm Hourz" showcases his unique sound and aesthetic, creating a captivating and emotionally resonant experience.” #NFT #Music #Art #Campfire #MusicNFT @mixtape.lens
