The metaverse is getting funky!🎵
The Sandbox is partnering with Jamiroquai, the seminal jazz-funk band led by Jay Kay, to bring the group’s free-spirited essence to Web3. The strategic collaboration was developed in association with Bravado, Universal Music Group’s industry-leading brand management division.
