How do I hide the media player from the lock screen, WHILE THERE IS MUSIC PLAYING?

One way to do it is to force something to play in the background with no media context, like on a Discord voice stream on Safari. However, this has three drawbacks:

Audio is mono
No media player control (but of course)
The conglomerates at YouTube started cracking down on all the bots that play YouTube videos in Discord, so now alternatively I have to download a few hundred YouTube videos and upload them all to another site that a bot can access without them being taken down, or make my own bot that can access a somewhat private site I make

I want to be able to play music on the iPhone without the media player widget there. I only want to be able to control it from in the app, in the Control Centre, or with my headphones. How do I get that to happen?
