Mint Songs was a Web3 music NFT marketplace and artist-community tooling platform that enabled musicians to mint songs as NFTs, sell them, and build on-chain communities before being acquired by Napster in February 2023. Mint Songs's Twitter Score is 50 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of July 2026, ranking #20,671 (top 5%) among 531,432 tracked accounts.
Mint Songs was co-founded by Dwight Torculas and Garrett Hughes, who built two distinct products: Mint Songs Factory on Polygon and Mint Songs V2 on Ethereum. The platform worked with Web3 artists including Gramatik, Mark de Clive-Lowe, and Black Dave on exclusive NFT releases. Before its wind-down, the platform had onboarded roughly 2,000 musicians, facilitated around 90,000 NFTs minted across approximately 15,000 collectors, and paid out around $100,000 to musicians.
Mint Songs raised $4.3 million from investors including Freestyle Capital and Castle Island Ventures, with a seed round recorded by Dealroom in October 2021. Additional backers included Coinbase Ventures, Dapper Labs, IOSG Ventures, North Island Ventures, and Goodwater Capital. A co-founder announced the wind-down of active operations in September 2022, after approximately 1.5 years of operation, halting new NFT minting ahead of the acquisition.
Mint Songs was formerly affiliated with Napster, which acquired the platform on February 15, 2023 to incorporate its technology into Napster's own Web3 offerings. Following the acquisition, co-founder Garrett Hughes was to advise Napster, while former head of product Nate Pham was to join the company. Mint Songs has published 5,181 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 63 accounts a total of 270 times.
