Hi there!
I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself to everyone, my name is Andres, and I’ve recently joined Spotify as a Community Manager. What that means is that I’m here to talk to, and more importantly, listen to all of our Spotify users. I’ll be actively available to users on our GetSatisfaction forums as well as posting here on the blog.
The reaction from users in our first few weeks since going public has been amazing and I’m looking forward to hearing and interacting more with you, so don’t hesitate to leave a comment if you have any questions or just want to talk Spotify. ☺
In the spirit of sharing I also thought I’d let you know what I’m listening to right now on Spotify. I’m more of a full album kind of guy rather than playlists and my current favorite album is Ryan Adams – Easy Tiger.
I look forward to hearing from everyone.
Last Friday Max and I had the opportunity to do a Spotify gig at Debaser Medis.
Sure, we have fooled around DJing with Spotify at parties and at the office. But this, this was for real! Those last few minutes before opening time lots of worries rushed through our minds; Is anyone going to show up? Are too many going to show up? Can we pull this off? Will people request enough songs to play? Will we get hung? Luckily all fears were in vain, and it turned out really great, you can listen to the playlist here.
Max and I had a great time and I can only hope that everyone there did as well.
Hopefully this was only the first of many similar events. All we can say is “tack” to Debaser and to everyone who showed up!
