As our digital identities become exponentially more robust and impactful, we are focused on building partnerships that will enable WMG and our artists,” said Oana Ruxandra, Chief Digital Officer & EVP, Business Development.
Ruxandra further added that due to “its leadership in wearables and sustainability,” DressX is “exactly the type of partner” Warner Music Group needs as the company attempts to breach the walls of the metaverse and expands further into the world of virtual assets.
