Spotify has paid more than two billion dollars to labels, publishers and collecting societies for distribution to songwriters and recording artists.

But right now we have an advantage of being the number one in music.

Ask yourself: given everything you have to do, is there a way that we can make this better?

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

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

The main reason people want to pay for Spotify is really portability. People are saying, 'I want to have my music with me.'

The value of a company is the sum of the problems you solve.
