Research output: Contributions to conferencesPaper

Details

This paper is a discussion on whether Spotify is beneficial for musicians by considering the value of its data-collecting platform ‘Spotify for Artists’ and comparing opinions of the streaming service between musicians at different points of their career.

In debating this, some significant points can be made regarding the streaming services roles in the dissemination of music and the provision of data for artists at varying levels of their career, which has helped bring new concepts to the debate.

A more nuanced view of Spotify would suggest they are advocates in the wider promotion of musician’s music by providing a platform for fans and artists, where relevant data regarding users listening habits and demographic information can be used in the development of a musician’s career.
