Spotify user data

[acoope05]

Hi,

I am currently working on a PhD in applied statistics and additionally have a music business postgraduate certificate. I was hoping to apply the statistical model I am working on to spotify data. I was wondering if it is possible to gain access to user data on Spotify? I was hoping to look at interactions between users and artists with my model. Please let me know if there is any available data about users (e.g. their preferences, their country, their age, anything really.). 

Thanks!
