# Music Artists on Mesi

> A comprehensive guide for music creators to distribute, monetize, and protect their work using Mesi.

Mesi is an all-in-one ecosystem for music creators to **distribute**, **advertise**, and **monetize** their tracks—both within the Mesi app and across major external streaming platforms.

## How it Works

Every track uploaded to Mesi automatically becomes a **Music NFT**, unlocking advanced monetization and fan engagement tools:

* **Upload & Share:** Distribute existing hits or exclusive "never-before-heard" tracks.
* **Mesi Music Creator:** Use built-in tools to produce and polish new tracks directly on-platform.

### Generating Value from Music NFTs

Music NFTs offer three distinct revenue streams:

1. **Engagement Rewards:** Earn \$MESI tokens based on fan interactions. These rewards flow to the current NFT owner.
2. **Licensing Fees:** Artists set their own terms for re-use (e.g., as background music for "Vibes"). **License fees always go to the original creator**, even after the NFT is sold.
3. **Secondary Sales:** Trade NFTs on the marketplace to unlock immediate liquidity while transferring future engagement rewards to the buyer.
