Celebrating 10 Years of using Spotify!

[MattSuda]

I'm celebrating 10 years since I started using Spotify and 9 years since I joined the Spotify Stars Program!

10 years ago I started using a new music app called Spotify! Over the last decade, I've met amazing Spotify employees and users, discovered amazing artists, and fell in love with music. I've written thousands of posts in the Spotify Community, and helped lots of users and artists so they can get back to enjoying the music or get their music heard. It's been an incredible adventure! Looking forward to many more years of music! 💚 🎵 🙂

Spotify join date: September 24, 2011 shortly after becoming available in the USA

I celebrated with an awesome green Spotify cake! 🎂 💚

Flavor: Chocolate with vanilla buttercream

That's massive @MattSuda, may you have even more milestones like this, congrats! 

I haven't been using Spotify as long as you but I can positively say, you're an inspiration.

Also, that cake looks super yummy, enjoy!! 🎂

@MattSuda this is amazing!

That cake looks incredible and you're such a fantastic and important part of Spotify and the Star Program 🙂 
Thanks for everything.

I've only been using Spotify since 2015!

10 years, more than 22,000 posts, almost 3,000 Solutions, 110 Badges, and one epic cake. It's been a pleasure and a privilege so far @MattSuda. Getting ever closer to that 10 year badge 🙂

[MattSuda]

Thanks everyone! 💚 🙂  @Katerina  @Melody  @Goodman

Hey Matt! That cake is so impressive--and it's awesome you're celebrating your Spotify Anniversary! This Community wouldn't be what it is today with you--you've helped so many Spotify users over the years. And I'm glad you shared some photos from the Rock Star Jams, can't believe our first RSJ was 7 years ago.

Congrats @MattSuda on your 10th anniversary of using Spotify and 9 years as a Spotify Star on the Community!

I always appreciate our conversations on Slack, as well as your guidance regarding threads on the Community. You’re an inspiration to me as well!

I’ve been using Spotify since 2013 or 2014 (can’t remember an exact date); and as a powerful tool to help discover artists and genres that I enjoy, Spotify has been instrumental in cultivating my passion for music.

Cheers!

[MattSuda]

Thanks @meahtenoha 🙂

I hope you're doing well! We sure miss you around the Community 💚 thanks for all the great memories!

And I know... the time sure has went by! The first Jam was really special, one of my favorite memories.

[MattSuda]

Thanks @AdamDamon 🙂

I always appreciate your Slack messages and your passion to learn and grow in the Stars Program.

Congrats dude! Good for you! I'm at 10 years next year! Only difference is I didn't realize that this Spotify community thing was an actual thing until recently. Cheers to another fun/amazing 10 years!
