All-Star-Spangled Banner
Acclaimed singer, songwriter & GRAMMY award-winning artist Macy Gray releases her first NFT in solidarity with Ukraine. This inspiring NFT titled "All-Star Spangled Banner" combines a one-of-a-kind, soulful version of Gray’s performance of the national anthem with a heartfelt American flag artwork that represents the multi-racial diversity of the United States.
Fresh off her performance of the national anthem at the 71st NBA All-Star Game in Cleveland on February 20, 2022, and in collaboration with the artist team People Productions, Macy marries the lyrics of "The Star-Spangled Banner" with a flag that has stars the shades of all of our skin.
"The lyrics of the National Anthem have represented hope and resilience for all humankind since it was written in 1814," Gray states, "and in this challenging time for Ukraine, my belief and message is that America, with all of our differences and diversity, stands in unity with the people of Ukraine."
