Maybe you've seen the Rock Star Program mentioned throughout the Community. And maybe you've noticed that some Community members have special icons and privileges in the boards. 

 

But what have these Rock Stars been up to? And what does being in the Program mean? 

 

While we have a Rock Star pdf here that explains the program, we'd like to highlight what these guys have been up to in the past four months:

 

Invitations to calls with Spotify Staff

 

Each month the Rock Stars (and sometimes the Rising Stars) are invited to a Q&A session with a member of staff. The calls last for 30 minutes to an hour and are held in an "Ask Me Anything" format. Since January our Stars have had calls with:

 

Ronald Pompa, Product Manager

Ronald spoke to the Stars about Spotify rolling out to PS43 and PS43 systems consoles and Xperia** smartphones and tablets--and, of course, he shared his best music for video games.

Sarah and Tristan gave the Rock Stars tips and tricks for helping users in the forums. They both work in the Customer Support department of Spotify and gave the Rock Stars a joint presentation from New York and Cambridge, UK.

 

Dave Rodger, VP of Product - What to Play

Former VP of Product at The Echo Nest, Dave gave insight into how tracks and playlists are recommended to users throughout the Spotify client.

Natasa answered questions about our latest Desktop update, the strategy behind it, and what her teams' goals are for the future.

 

 

Blog author priviledges

 

One of the roles Rock Stars can have is 'Blog Maverick'. This year we gave these Blog Mavericks authoring privileges on the official Spotify Community Blog. Here are a few of the articles they've published so far:
