How do you become a playlist curator?

[sofdog]

Hi guys ! I have been extremely interested in learning how to become a playlist curator for Spotify. I am very passionate about music, finding new music, and coming up with niche playlist ideas and accompanying aesthetics. Does anyone have any tips on getting started or about the process?

I attached a couple images of my playlists right now, which are color coordinated by row. However, I also create digital art and I am thinking about using my own art for playlist covers. In the future, this would benefit not only my own art brand, but the artists that I would promote on these playlists too. I can't wait to get started! 😊🎶

I like how the Spotify community pushes people to create and take care about their playlists, make them unique, up-to-dated and simply as flawless as possible.

One way to achieve this is a mix of popular and new artists... Use your playlist key html to drop into websites and build QR codes to take with you everywhere you go... Ask people to scan the code...Also create a banner in which you can throw up new QR codes for anything that you want people to listen to.... Send your songs and I will drop them into a few playlists...

Check out the Artist : Brooklyne on all music platforms.... She is a longtime worldwide music curator

Hello and good day

I'm Interested in being a Curator and wondering if someone could help me or point me in the right direction.

I recently logged in on musixmatch.com and have been uploading lyrics and syncing songs for the past 4-5 days. But when I logged in today, Friday 31st of March, my account was reset and I believe it's due to previous inactivity and perhaps that I asked to be removed from the Rock star program, around seven years ago. 

I have a passion for music and I found it very satisfying once again to scour the web in search of lyrics, upload them, and syncing songs. So I'd love to keep doing it if possible.

regards,

Peter McLashlan Iversen

Hi; this is so cool that so many of us are interested in this. I have a Spotify account called TheDailyMusic playlists where I create and share a playlist daily from Monday to Friday. Every playlist is different from the previous one. I make it so that Mondays and Tuesdays are playlists without a theme, but rather music I've been discovering lately; the rest of the week every playlist has a theme. Alongside this, I generate an AI image to go with the playlists. In other words; I'm sure I'm putting in the effort of someone that is being paid for free...I'm curious as to how it would work for it not to have to be like that. Thank you!

If you want to become a curator you will need to grow followers of your playlists. The most efficient way to do this is to run Meta ads. 

Once you have a large follower count the people discovering your playlist will grow organically to some degree. If your playlists get large enough and popular enough with listening engagement Spotify will notice, and you can reach out and begin a conversation with them about what opportunities they might have.

Hey @sofdog, nice to meet you, I hope you're doing well. 

I have never heard about being a Spotify playlist curator... I'm unsure if I'm following you correctly, are you saying to work on Spotify curating their playlists? Or do you want to curate Spotify playlists on your own and get followers on your playlists?

I'm a curator, let's say this is part of my work, I run a music blog and have a few playlists...

My suggestion is that you need to find out your motivation, and once you get clear why you want to do this and have a goal, in my case is to champion independent and unknown artists, therefore I looked for companies where you can find artists wanting to be promoted either with their music already released or even better with the songs to be released soon...

I don't want to make this post too long, so if you have any questions feel free to hit me. 

Cheers!!!

Hi! I’m really interested in becoming a playlist curator for Spotify too, but I’m not sure how to get started. I love music and the idea of creating niche playlists and aesthetic covers is so appealing! I think using your own digital art for playlist covers is a fantastic idea—it would really make your playlists unique and help promote both your art and the artists you include. I’m excited to learn more about this journey alongside you! If you find any tips or resources, please share!

make an amazing playlist by selecting a trending category.

I love your playlists! if you're open to recommendations, I think Giselle Bellas 's  music would suit your playlists. She's an independent artist and writes all her own music, she mostly does dreamy bedroom pop but also does jazz and latin music! My favorite tracks of hers are Erosion and Will You Be There, which are dream pop and acoustic folk.

I love the idea of using your digital art for the playlist covers—it’ll definitely set your playlists apart and give them a personal touch. When I started curating playlists, I focused on finding lesser-known tracks that really fit the vibe I was going for. Engaging with followers on social media helped me grow my audience, too. Just have fun with it and let your passion for music shine through!
