Music isn't like news, where it's what happened five minutes ago or even 10 seconds ago that matters. With music, a song from the 1960s could be as relevant to someone today as the latest Ke$ha song.

I actually bought a travel guitar, and that guitar is really cool. You can actually fold the guitar, and you can plug headphones into it, but it's acoustic, or semi-acoustic.

At Spotify, we really want you to democratically win as a musician. We want you to win because your music is the best music.

It disturbed me that the music industry had gone down the drain, even though people were listening to more music than ever and from a greater diversity of artists.

In general, people are comfortable sharing their music. There are two exceptions, though - Lady Gaga and Britney Spears.

Put your consumers in focus, and listen to what they're actually saying, not what they tell you.
