## Q&A from Gate.io
### Q1: Could you please introduce a little bit about yourself and your role with Animal Concerts?
**SamK**: SamK here, current CMO at Animal Concerts! I’m a serial entrepreneur if you’d like to call it that, having exited a business in Canada back in 2018, pitching a product on a popular tv show in Canada called Dragons Den, raised funds for an app in the UK, and have been advising and mentoring startups across the globe for the past 10 years. One noteworthy item: I mentored startups who applied for a FinTech challenge with UBS Bank in Zurich back in 2019, where they were looking to understand how to embed tokenization into their banking architecture….i.e…NFT’s! Love the crypto space intensely as an investor over the past 4 years, and after leading our corporate venture capital fund in Deloitte UK (one of the largest consultancies in the world), I decided it’s time to step into the Crypto world with both feet in…with Animal Concerts!

**Colin**: I’m Colin - CEO of Animal. I’m Irish from Dublin but I live in Dubai. I’ve worked for tech companies like Oracle, Dell, Salesforce and HubSpot for 20 years, been in Crypto since early 2017 as a personal investor and always wanted to work in the space. I used to be a DJ and club night organizer and others in the team have a musical background and that’s how we came up with Animal as we really believe in the power of NFT’s and the Metaverse to change the music industry - and that’s what we are here to do! So amazing to be part of this awesome project!

### Q2: What is Animal Concerts and what is your vision?
**SamK**: Animal Concerts is building the Next Generation of Live Events in the Metaverse. The platform aims to revolutionize the music industry for fans and artists worldwide: delivering unique, physical concerts with A-list artists, collaborating on NFT drops, live streaming in the Metaverse, and tokenizing the entire experience.

**Colin**: Our vision is to be THE metaverse entertainment company and we already have partnerships with most of the big metaverses, they are all excited to work with us to bring big name artists for concerts and utilize our token ecosystem.

### Q3: What are the goals for Animal Concerts in the upcoming month or two?
**Colin**: I wish I could tell you but I can't talk about the details, but we have some great announcement coming and then working on some deals with artists in the next few months to secure even more for nft's and metaverse streams.

**SamK**: So many amazing announcements will be dropping in the coming months. You can expect to hear: releasing details about our exciting NFT drops (notices how I said multiple!), both in collaboration with amazing artists and our own, and of course some great metaverse concert experiences to begin showcasing our immersive concert’s live.

### Q4: What types of partnerships have you formed?
**Colin**: Make sure to follow our telegram for all the updates! https://t.me/animalconcertsofficial.

We've got really great partnerships with <a href="/ru/price/decentraland-mana" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Decentraland</a>, NetVRK and Pax.world for metaverses, but more in the works. Then Opensea for NFT's and CoinTelegraph for our marketing. Also <a href="/ru/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Polygon</a> and Klayton who are sponsoring our concerts.

Partnerships will be huge for us and now that we've got our launch done we are going big to get many more.

**SamK**: Partnerships are crucial for a large ecosystem like ours so having this wide array of different partners has been a foundation to our success.
