From the moment we first met Sassy on Twitter Spaces, it was clear her voice was of tremendous value to Arpeggi and the broader web3 music space. While Sassy is an experienced musician and producer in her own right, her reach and influence extends far beyond. Sassy’s desire to increase accessibility and inclusion in the music creation process is a core tenant of Arpeggi’s mission to address the lack of representation within both music production and the NFT space.

As our community grows, it’s important to have an artist like Sassy to represent Arpeggi and welcome new musicians into our space. Building Arpeggi is an opportunity to build a new music creation ecosystem more open source and inclusive than the old paradigms, and Arpeggi is thrilled to welcome Sassy to the team to help lead this effort.

For more information about Sassy and her background, a brief bio can be found below. To connect with Sassy, follow her on Twitter @SassyBlack_.

SassyBlack is a multifaceted creative force with a focus in the performing and literary arts. Hailing from Seattle, this Goddess of “psychedelic soul” & “hologram funk” explores sound through deep electronic compositions.

In addition to her own compositions, she has composed music for Microsoft, WNYC, University of Washington, 5th Avenue Theatre (15 Minute Stories) and the film Seattle Women Black Panthers: Keepers of the Dream.

Along with her music, which has been featured on Adult Swim, BET’s Twenties, TNT’s Claws as well as the Michelle Obama Spotify Playlist Vol. 1, her acting prowess has been featured on HBO’s Vinyl and Comedy Central’s Broad City.
