Sulinna Ong, Spotify UK & Ireland
Sulinna Ong, Spotify head of music, UK and Ireland, said: Were excited to have these three amazing artists collaborate with Our Generation, as we continue to expand Spotifys support for emerging talent. We launched Our Generation in 2019 after we identified a gap for a unique offering of genre-fluid, new music for a digitally native audience. With our latest campaign we are taking it one step further by expanding and enriching the Our Generation brand and offering fans the chance to further explore diverse and culturally influential artists to uncover their new undiscovered favourites via recommendations from some of the playlists most popular artists. Our ambition is to build a truly engaged community for Our Generation making it the go-to hub for Gen Z music lovers to discover their new favourite artists.
Beabadoobee is currently being supported by Spotifys Radar emerging artist programme. Read an interview with Sulinna Ong here.
