A previously-unreleased Whitney Houston demo is included in a new NFT collection set to be auctioned later this year.
The late music icon was just 17 when she recorded the song, which will feature in the release offered by OneOf as a single “OneOf One Iconic” item.
An exact date for the auction will be announced on December 1 during Miami Art Week, at a two-day art, music and NFT event called OneOf.world
The winning bidder will have access to the never-before-heard full-length song, alongside a digital video created by 17-year-old artist Diana Sinclair, comprising rare archival photos of the singer.
“I’m excited to see Whitney’s legacy and her wonderful music expand into bold new technology of this era,” Pat Houston, Executor, Estate of Whitney E. Houston, said in a statement.
“It was a joy partnering with 17-year-old Diana Sinclair and watching the artistry of Whitney’s music influence a new generation.”
The Whitney Houston NFT collection features thousands of additional NFTs, including archival photos designed as animations that give them a digital scrapbook effect.
Proceeds from the sales will benefit the Whitney E. Houston Foundation, which works to inspire, create opportunities and empower youth.
