YES! Not only is Bluescentric Brand merchandise officially licensed where applicable, but because we care about the music, every sale of Bluescentric’s exclusive Officially Licensed merch is paid directly to the artist’s estate.

Always be sure your artist merch is OFFICIALLY LICENSED! The people selling you the shirt may be stealing from the artists. There are a number of fly-by-night bootleggers, especially online, who use artist names and faces to make money by quickly turning over cheap knockoff shirts or anonymously using third-party vendors such as TeeSpring. No royalty is paid to the artist for these shirts, and in almost any case, customer service is non-existent. Bootlegs hurt artists and hurt customers who love music. And we think that’s not cool.
