ABOUT THE SONG SOMMELIER

The Song Sommelier was created by music industry strategist Keith Jopling (ex. Spotify, Sony Music, BPI, EMI) to bring mixtape and vinyl values to playlisting, and bring context and editorial to music discovery. Each playlist is accompanied by bespoke, characterful artwork by artist Mick Clarke (Glasgow School, Royal College) and irreverent sleevenotes by the playlist curator. The aim is to create one of the most trusted and culturally relevant music discovery sources for a global community of discerning listeners.
