About this episode

In this episode, Carles Barrobes discusses Fairplayer, a platform aimed at enhancing music distribution for independent artists.

In this episode of Lorenzo's Music Podcast, I meet Carles Barrobes, a software engineer from Barcelona, who is part of a collective building a platform for musicians called Fairplayer, a project aimed at helping artists outside of mainstream streaming platforms with a more direct connection with their listeners. Carles tells me about how Fairplayer is designed to promote decentralized music, the challenges of building a cooperative model, and how Fairplayer serves as a bridge between musicians and their own platforms. We discuss how Fairplayer works, including its verification process for artists and integrating with other platforms like Mirlo, Faircamp, and more to enhance discoverability and funding for musicians.
