Troy Cassar-Daley Releases NFT Painting Series

Troy Cassar-Daley has released a collection of 8 paintings titled Back On Country. Whilst an acknowledged art painter, this is Cassar-Daley's first NFT release. These paintings are only available as NFTs.

What is an NFT, you ask. Well, it stands for a non-fungible token. NFTs typically contain references to digital files such as photos, videos, and audio, and can be created by anybody. The ownership of an NFT can be transferred by the owner, allowing NFTs to be sold and traded.

Cassar-Daley is a proud Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung man who comes from a long line of storytellers, and his passion to pen stories about this land and what lies at the heart of it has been a driving force in his career. This is now reflected in his new paintings.

On the NFT drop, Cassar-Daley says, “I’m thrilled to be working with Serenade and ArtizanX on my release of my Back On Country painting series. These paintings have been inspired by moments in time, and connection to people and country. Being able to make this series available via NFTs provides another medium to share my art and stories.”

Max Shand, founder and CEO of Serenade, adds, “It’s an incredibly proud moment for Serenade to be working with an Australian great on this continuation of Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung storytelling. At Serenade, we believe in bringing fans closer to their favourite artists, and what better to achieve this than sentimental, nostalgic storytelling, presented through unique and beautiful artworks.”

Cassar-Daley will be releasing his first live acoustic album titled 50 Songs, 50 Towns. The album will be delivered both digitally and as a 3CD digipack which is set for release August 12. The digital version will be delivered in five installments of 10 tracks between June and August.

50 Songs, 50 Towns follows on from the incredibly successful, ARIA Award winning album The World Today. It also follows Cassar-Daley’s history-making 2022 Tamworth campaign that saw him eclipse the late Slim Dusty to become the most awarded artist ever at the Golden Guitars.

With a career spanning over three decades, Cassar-Daley has released a total of eleven studio albums, achieved a staggering 32 number one chart singles, and been awarded numerous accolades including 40 Golden Guitars, 5 ARIA Awards, 3 APRA Song of the Year Awards, plus 2 NIMAs (National Indigenous Music Awards). Furthermore, in 2017, Cassar-Daley was honoured as the 50th inductee into the prestigious Australasian Roll Of Renown.

Ever in motion, Cassar-Daley is currently on his Together Alone Tour with Ian Moss touring throughout Australia until October. For more dates and details, visit troycassardaley.com.au.
