The LIONS of ZATHENA

Check out the newest song I’ve written and produced called “Never Home” [DEMO w/ iPHONE] by ZADAN [ZAY-den] on #SoundCloud Hella proud of this for only having my ipad and phone to work with - will be redoing the layers with my real mic next week! on.soundcloud.com/dLY1vhbrzs…

Wanted to give a little tease from my newest song, “NEVER HOME”, really feel like this one has some strong legs to run on. Hope you all enjoy this is a totally different sound than usually comes out of me. Full demo on SoundCloud ❤️✊🏽 on.soundcloud.com/pTMcZb5e97…

Let’s gooo, excited to chat about what we’ve been able to accomplish from our team at @ZathenaVentures with projects like @raverrealm and the others that we’ve been cooking on this year! And rounding it all off with a nice little live performance - set your reminders! 💜💪🏽

Made some SIGNIFICANT progress tonight on my website!!! So freaking happy cause I finally seem to have cracked this issue I was having with getting a certain element to work to help filter between me as an artist, the company, and the lions project. Going in on my skillsets 🧑🏽‍💻

Tonight was a vibe, felt really cool rocking my own @LIONSofZATHENA project on my clothes today. Had a few strangers as about what it was ❤️🦁🔥

Ohhhhhhhh snap, @Mary_Aleda @MrsZadan popped off on this one; I’m drippy and cheesin’ for it thank you babe!!! So stoked for this web3 event thing tonight 🦁🔥❤️

As of today, we now have the hardware in house to make whatever kind of merch we want to for ZATHENA VENTURES and our @LIONSofZATHENA 🔥🔥🔥 Excited to get to the point we have enough I can rock lions gear in every piece of content I make ❤️💪🏽🦁

And I do all this while being an active founder of @LIONSofZATHENA showing up every day, answering my DMs, building in every way I can fathom to do so. Our team of devs does everything from websites to fullstack to security audits. But go ahead and sleep on me.

I love how I was drawing lions in my journal almost 10 years ago unintentionally manifesting my company @LIONSofZATHENA

I don’t understand why these music NFT platforms are setting themselves up to be so anti-web3 at the core of their development ethos. The fact you can’t mint on one and it show up on another (for example mint on Sound and it show up on Zora) defeats the whole purpose. With the way these platforms are setting themselves up they’re literally no different than web2 solutions like Bandcamp, just using a different payment processing method. It’s really sad because we actually need interpretable open music marketplaces for this space to thrive. Right now the way it’s set up as a web2 analogy; you have to pick whether your song can be on Apple or Spotify or make two whole separate versions if you want to hit those two different demographics of audience. I don’t see how this is conducive in any way. All this to be said, it looks like what I’m working on with the team is about to blow up for real cause these platforms seem very intent on carving out their own little monopolistic pockets, but the marketplace solution that will be coming soon we’ve been building eliminates this as a factor with the first REAL web3/blockchain music marketplace that actually allows for open trading across the CHAIN not just things that are minted or purchased on any one particular website.
