Artist Spotlight - Aly @roadtoaly is an artist, producer and singer based in LA. He recently won the top prize of 50k OP in the @Optimism We <3 The Art competition for his submission BLOODY Bag in partnership with @bloodywhxte. This marks the start of "Goodie Bags," on which he experiments with the medium of time in music blending entire albums into single songs. His "SWEETS II" project, featuring 30-second songs telling the story of his life, sold out during the bottom of the bull market last year. Aly is one of the five freshmen artists selected for the SATELLITES project at @lnrzxyz - a leading onchain music collective. Additionally, he’s one of the 80 members of @headless_chaos, the third project by @songcamp_. He has collaborated with @noisedao, @lnrzxyz, @bloodywhxte,@CallMeLatasha, @jadynviolet, @ReoCragun,@ImanEurope, @cleareyesmusic_, @alecdalel, and @Campfire_xyz. Collect - zora.co/collect/base:0xb0e5b… Overview Aly has made 49.7 ETH from 46 songs thanks to 314 collectors across 3354 editions. 14% of his primary sales come from the “SWEETS 2” collection, with 7 ETH in total. An additional 10% comes from the “SWEETS” album, released on Catalog, with 5 ETH in total. His highest selling songs are “BULLS ON PARADE”, "BOOM! [REMIX]”, and “jon and vinny's ft. Lackhoney”, accounting for 15% and 7.6 ETH in primary sales. His genesis drop is “Trip”, released on @catalogworks in February of 2022. Primary Sales are calculated before Splits. Key Takeaways Before adopting his real name, Aly, he was dropping songs as Lackhoney, a name he left behind with the release of the SWEETS 2 album. He dropped the Lackhoney Song Token experiment, offering collectors exclusive access to a Lackhoney song or feature verse. He was releasing onchain videos even before music. His first videos were dropped on @ourzora in November 2021, and the “Party On” video did 4.8 ETH on Glass in an overnight party bid. He has been an active member of the Songcamp, LNRZ, NOISE, and Campfire collectives, along with contributing to over ten tracks with different artists. His latest single, BLOODY BAG [GOODIE BAG VOL. 1], created in collaboration with Bloody White, marks the beginning of a new chapter with a major statement having won the Music category in the largest onchain art contest. Each GOODIE BAG will spotlight a full collaboration with a different artist.
