How much does Spotify pay? A conversation with Samuel Duboff

Spotify also faces much criticism, especially for how they compensate artists. To try to demystify that compensation, the streaming giant has been publishing a royalty report for each of the last five years under the name Loud & Clear. Sam Duboff, Spotify’s Global Head of Marketing & Policy for Music, was nice enough to sit down and talk about this report, along with answering any question that I had about music royalties, independent artists, and AI.
