What if streaming platforms actually paid artists fairly? This question has driven acclaimed producer Lloyd Perrin (Papa Zeus) to develop Serenada, a revolutionary social streaming platform that could transform how musicians earn from their music.

Perrin's impressive career spans from chart success with "About You" (which brilliantly reimagined CeCe Peniston's "Finally") to scoring films like Street Dance 3D. Despite these achievements, he's witnessed firsthand how streaming economics have devastated artist income. "When I first started, we sold CDs and made money. Then downloads meant less money. With streaming it makes even less money and even less sense," Perrin explains with refreshing candor.

Serenada represents a powerful alternative – a user-centric streaming platform where your subscription fee goes directly to artists you listen to, not into a communal pool where only megastars truly benefit. By combining social media engagement, content discovery, and fair compensation in one platform, Perrin aims to remove the fragmented journey between discovering music and supporting creators.

The platform will ethically utilize AI to enhance music discovery based on emotional resonance and compositional elements, helping listeners find their perfect musical match while ensuring artists get discovered by the right audience. Most revolutionary is Perrin's commitment that all artists – from bedroom producers to established names – receive equal treatment on the platform with no preferential deals for major labels.

This episode offers a fascinating glimpse into a potential future where streaming actually nurtures artistic development rather than treating music as an expendable commodity. Whether you're a music creator frustrated by streaming economics or a fan wondering why your favorite artists struggle despite millions of plays, Perrin's vision for Serenada presents an inspiring path forward for the industry.
