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.

From Daniel Ek

There are half a billion people that listen to music online and the vast majority are doing so illegally. But if we bring those people over to the legal side and Spotify, what is going to happen is we are going to double the music industry and that will lead to more artists creating great new music.

From Daniel Ek

People just want to have access to all of the world's music.

From Daniel Ek

In order for a service to be social, you've really got to start from the ground up. The fact that almost a third of the U.S. population have even heard of Spotify is really because they've seen it on Facebook and friends have been sharing.
