Back after an extended hiatus, we return with a very special guest! This week we're joined by Rutaba Yaqub from Spotify Pakistan! She's on the show because we've been heavily invested in talking about music in Pakistan and Spotify Pakistan in just 2 years has become an undeniable platform that all professional musicians need to be on. We speak about her role curating music for playlists, Spotify's global and local initiatives, and some great bits about the lifecycle of songs and artists from new and indie to hits and stars. Jump in!
