4 ways artists can use Spotify Blend

1) Create Blend playlists for pairs of bandmembers

Test the theory that a band’s music is an amalgamation of the tastes of it members by pairing two members together to create a playlist. Have fans pick the member pairings and comment on the results.

2) Create a Blend playlist with a fan

How does the artist’s taste match with a fan’s? Run a contest to pick a fan to co-create a public playlist.

3) Have fans co-create Blend playlists

Ask pairs fans to co-create playlists that include your music and other music they love. You could even pair two random pairs together. Then share the results.

4) Market live shows with Blend

Create a Spotify Blend playlist with the band you are sharing the stage with that includes both act’s music and your influences or favorite current tracks. Then both acts and the venue can share it on socials.

With a little imagination I’ll be you can come up with more ways to use Blend to market music and interact with fans.

Here’s how it works:

• Create: Tap ‘Create Blend’ in the Made for You hub on mobile.
