3LAU Pays It Forward and Eliminates Artist’s Debt with Cryptocurrency

American DJ and electronic dance music producer, 3LAU, has once again extended his generous hand by wiping out another artist’s student loan debt.

3LAU is not your typical DJ and EDM producer. While many artists find happiness and solace in creating music and honing their craft, 3LAU’s biggest achievements come from being able to help others when they are in need. This time, 3LAU helps out big, when another artist reached out for advice on a sticky situation they were caught in.

Like so many others that find themselves drowning in student loans and unable to pay them back, music producer and visual creative director, Bdice, found himself in this same predicament. Instead of ignoring student loan debt and deferring payments, Bdice attempted to pay back his six-figure debt but still could not surpass the interest that was on his loans, totaling $100,000 in over 10 years in interest payments alone.

Bdice originally took to Twitter to connect with 3LAU and gain insight on his new project, a Web3-based collection out of his Daily 16’s, a YouTube music series Bdice created while in college. After connecting with 3LAU, Bdice shared his story of student loans and the debt he was in. He could have never guessed what would come next. 3LAU simply asked, “We’ll fix it right now, what was the number you needed?”

Bdice stated that he was in need of $62,000 USD. Without blinking, 3LAU sent that exact amount to Bdice, in the form of cryptocurrency. Bdice was beyond grateful for the generosity that was being displayed. Like any other graduate who has been drowning in student debt, Bdice felt the weight of the world on his shoulders. Now, that weight is relieved and he can move forward with his life, all thanks to 3LAU. When asked about this experience, Bdice stated, “To me, 3LAU’s gesture was a direct reflection of one of the core goals in Web3, to level the playing field for creatives.”
