Spotify Technology S A : Amplifying Voices for Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Now more than ever, it's important we celebrate and support our Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. Artists, influencers, creators, celebrities, and more have spent 2021 making their voices heard, and we stand with them in solidarity. In honor of AAPI Heritage Month this May, Spotify is continuing ourongoing efforts to amplify and lift up this community. Through this year's campaign, we are spotlighting AAPI creators on Spotify, as well as inviting them to share their stories of pride.
