Daniel Ek is a co-founder of the famous music streaming service, Spotify. This service has become one of the leading streaming services for people around the world. Spotify offers offline services for those willing to pay a monthly fee. Just like most other streaming services, it offers a free version with advertisements. At first, the music industry was not on board with Spotify. This was mostly because of the worry that less money would be produced from Spotify than other services like iTunes. However, Ek was confident that it would decrease the amount of music that was pirated. Therefore, in the long run there would be more money generated from Spotify. Most of the music industry would make money off of royalties from the service. Although, streaming services may have struggled at first, eventually Spotify broke through; catching the attention of everyone. Investors and consumers fell in love with the service and it grew at a rapid pace. In 2010, Spotify began to receive a lot of money from investors. Spotify has over 18 million songs; and is still growing to this day. Spotify allows consumers to listen to all of their music in one place offline for a mothly fee. However, it also provides consumers with a free version in which they have to listen to advertisements. Overall, this service is amazing and user friendly. Daniel Ek is an inspiring entrepreneur who helped bridge the gap between consumers and the way they listen to music. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Daniel-Ek

Spotify is a great way for people to listen to music. I like it how there is a free version and a version with a small fee. Daniel Ek has definitely changed the music industry. He succeeded in competing with the major competitors like ITunes. Great idea.
Spotify is truly an innovative idea. Everybody had Spotify and even apple had to ditch their way of selling music and offer Apple Music for a monthly fee just like Spotify. Spotify saw a stale market that wasn’t really changing and only one established player was in charge and took advantage by completely changing the way people went about listening to music.
The thing that I thought was the coolest about his idea was that he wanted to make it so more wealth could be produced in the music industry. He wanted to lower the amount that music was pirated and make an easy and inexpensive way to listen to your favorite music! It is really awesome that he could get so many people to support his business and helping the musicians greatly as well.
It’s great that he believed in his idea in the face of opposition. If he would’ve given up, it’s interesting to think about how the music industry would be today. Spotify has so many user and is available to even more people with the free version.
