Stroud
Music as Social Media

A feed for music, not a stream of strangers.

Stroud is where artists post tracks, listeners react, and conversations happen around the music. No algorithmic noise, no parasocial scroll. Just people, and what they made today.

What Stroud is
01

Posts are tracks.

Every post can carry a song, a clip, or a work in progress. The audio is the message, not an attachment.

02

Follow the people, not the genre.

Your feed is the artists you actually care about. Chronological. No mystery ranking deciding what you hear.

03

Talk back.

Reply, repost, react, message. The artist is on the other end, not a brand account run by an intern.

What it isn't
01

Not a streaming app with comments bolted on.

We did not build a catalogue and add a like button. We built a social feed and made tracks first-class citizens of it.

02

Not a video platform with audio uploads.

Music does not need to fight a vertical video for attention. Listening is the point, not a side effect.

03

Not a payout-only platform.

Streams still count and payouts still happen, quarterly, transparently. But discovery starts with people, not playlists.

Who it's for

For artists who want a room, not a billboard.

Post a demo at midnight. Drop a clip from the studio. Reply to the person who has listened to your last record 40 times. Build the audience you actually wanted, one human at a time.

For listeners who are tired of being a metric.

Follow the artists you love. See what they are making, not what an ad budget pushed in front of you. Talk to them. Send their stuff to your friends. Be a fan, properly.
