Globally, Asian and Pacific Islander (API) artists, creators, and authors continue to make their presence felt with exciting new musical styles and genres, sharp cultural commentaries, and narratives that offer a window into the diverse experiences that shape their perspectives.
Throughout May, Spotify is celebrating Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by spotlighting API voices around the world. Whether you’re on your desktop or mobile, our Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month hub is your go-to spot for all the great stuff we’ve got lined up, including brand-new Spotify Singles and refreshed playlists, as well as curated podcasts and audiobooks.
You know our playlists GLOW, Fresh Finds, Frequency, and EQUAL? They’re joining the celebration, too. Keep an eye out because some fantastic API artists will be sprinkled throughout these playlists and featured on playlist cover art all month long. And speaking of playlists, we’re highlighting some dedicated ones like Jasmine, K-Pop ON!, Gacha Pop, Desi Hits, and KALYE that are packed with the hottest sounds from API artists right now.
We’re also teaming up with indie star Japanese Breakfast—one of the earliest faces of our Jasmine playlist—for a takeover featuring the emerging API artists she’s most excited about right now. And if you’re in New York and LA, look for billboards spotlighting rising artists who have been featured on the playlist, including Luna Li, Snow Wife, Chance Emerson, Griff, grentperez, and Debbii Dawson.
