Boston Artist “Make MyOwn” Ready to Show What He’s Made of Following Debut of His Second Album, “Subconscious”

 Debuting his second studio album, Make MyOwn displays what it’s like to know what is going inside his head. His inner ideas attempt to take control of him and his actions without his complete understanding in exchange for a deal. Born and raised in the city of Boston, Massachusetts, Make MyOwn promises to provide the path toward music diversity within his hometown. “I’m not seeing much exposure or anything at all in regards to music coming out of my city. Hence, the reason why I decided to step in and ‘Make MyOwn,'” says the Boston artist. “I’d like to consider this a building block and give people a chance to hear exactly what they enjoy in an artist. I promise to respond to them.”

Make MyOwn takes his listeners on a personal journey with his sound during his second studio album. “Forcing a smile on your face will never make you feel any different than what you truly feel inside. I want my sound to enable the world to experience the good, the flawed, and the unlovely,” Make MyOwn goes on to state. Make MyOwn considers his sound a safe place for others to lay out all of their emotions. His ability to soften his voice while still keeping the same amount of force and charge is masterful throughout this album.

“Insane” shares conflict with his significant other while being repeatedly bugged by the back of his mind to construct decisions he knows his correct state of mind would choose to stay away from. “I don’t wanna wait no more. I don’t wanna waste your love. Found a way we can go and know no way where there’s a law,” He sings. Acknowledging the forces holding him back, he still refuses to let them gain their force onto him. This is what he wants to share. Letting go of the negative elements in your life and simply “letting things be.”

His main goal is to further explain the priority of self-care and self-worth; None of which will occur without coming into contact with those in an attempt to harm you and your inner-self. “You need to come in contact with your personal demons because at times, they know you better than yourself as absurd as it sounds. Mainly due to their access within elements and regions of yourself you were not even aware you obtained.” Make MyOwn declares with pure certainty. Make MyOwn brings his listeners into his circle of love, hate, and indecisiveness. “This is all a learning experience and a point in life we all need to experience no matter where we are on the timeline of our journey. It is all about the process of moving forward.” Make MyOwn vows to elucidate that no one is ever alone.

NexBloc Adds .NEX and .ARTIST Decentralized Top-Level Domains to its Arsenal of Web 3.0 dDNS Offerings

NexBloc today announced the creation of several new decentralized top-level domains (dTLD) including .NEX and .ARTIST. This adds to the expanding list of domains that are being developed on multiple blockchains and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) such as Polygon, XDC and Hedera. As well, buyers will now be able to use a credit or debit card in addition to the Coinbase Commerce platform currently used for taking payments.
NexBloc is developing infrastructure for the decentralized web with their decentralized domain naming system (dDNS) to make Web 3.0 a usable ecosystem of connected websites and applications. They use an omnichain approach by creating root domains on core blockchains and then interconnecting any DLT or blockchain for use of a consistent naming path.

The .NEX dTLD represents a cross-chain “nexus” of the decentralized internet and also represents the foundation of the Nex in NexBloc. Nexus means the connecting of spaces and the most important point. It is representative of the bridge between the ICANN centralized Web 2.0 world and the new Internet with decentralization as the future of personal data usage and control.

With .ARTIST, NexBloc is giving creators a way to claim a domain that fits their passion. Owners of .artist domains will be able to use them to create decentralized websites, authentication access to theme-based decentralized applications (dApps), and more.

“The future is about personalization and control,” Dana Farbo, Founder and CEO of NexBloc stated. “We are building systems that interoperate between the old internet and the new to ensure that individuals are at the center of their digital lives, with full control and lifetime access to their data.”

Account-holders on the NexBloc domain registration platform can reserve their domains of choice and begin to take advantage of an expanding array of services. Once purchased, there are no renewal fees, ever and NexBloc pays the gas fees for minting on most chains and distributed ledgers.

About NexBloc

NexBloc is building the next generation of the internet with decentralized DNS at the core. Digital entities tied to the decentralized web are the future of personal data protection and use.

With both a New York City based commercial operation and a British Virgin Islands token Foundation, NexBloc uses technology stacks to create custom deployments of dDNS systems.

They currently have over ten private blockchain top-level domains (dTLD) in various forms of deployment.
