I just spent the day doing a bunch
of Swedish press;
and now, I'm heading over to Spotify.
So, this is the stairs to nowhere.
That's, that's a wall.
And there's stairs...
was it open at some point?
-I have no idea. I think so.
- Weird.
-There's like a 5th floor...it's not
-Did someone else rent it?
-No. Just us. We just built it.
-Welcome to Spotify.
Stairs to nowhere.
-Yeah.
We're at Spotify. You are here.
-Yes.
-But you're not a music person.
You're a video person.
-Yes.
-What do you do?
-Uh, I run the talks and meet-ups that we have.
-Ok.
-Live broadcasting,
and I also do internal videos.
Some external, but mostly internal.
What me and my team does is that,
is like, internal stuff,
like, communications between offices and uh...
videos to make them look good:
or, like, demos.
Like, they'll be over here in this big hall,
showing a demo of something.
It's our job to make them look good,
sound good, share it...
-Is there a particular thing that you liked
working on the most?
Or were most excited about?
-Yeah, I'm excited about the development
of all this, like, because I've only
been here for a year.
And when I started,
I was the 2nd person in Stockholm.
Now, we're 3, soon to be 4.
-On the video team?
-Yeah. Yeah.
And then we have 3, well 2 now
over in New York and we're going to
grow this office.
I wouldn't mind a crane shot every now and then.
[Anita laughs]
-I mean, would anybody mind a crane shot
every now and again?
That would be pretty cool.
-There are pretty tiny ones you can actually buy
that would fit in here.
-What direction should I be looking?
Aw, look at this ceiling!
-Yeah, that's what people like.
Oh, yeah, ok! That's cool.
[Anita laughs]
Look at that!
-Right? Sharks!
You can get pretty much anything, like the equalizer-
-We pretty much never use this
because you can't do it while you're
having a talk or something.
-Why not?
I would be super into having this happening
while I'm giving a talk.
-People just get too distracted.
-That's fine.
Do you want to tell me what all this equipment is?
-Sure! This is our mixer.
It's where we mix the [unintelligible].
This ...sometimes we do a star fade just for fun.
Um, and this is our little controller
for our cameras.
It's pretty, it's all right.
It's hard to control sometimes.
Hey!
-Hey!
-Hey, look who it is!
It's my dad!
-Aw!
-He works here, too!
-Yes, I do!
[Anita laughs].
-We used to look alike, also,
when I had a shaved head
it made us look alike.
-What do you do here?
-What do I do here?
Mostly as little as I possibly can.
-You what?
-As little as I possibly can.
-Well, you break things.
-Well, I do. I do break things.
For fun and profit.
-When Spotify breaks we'll just all call you
and say "how dare you?"
-Yeah, because it's probably me.
-You know what I should do?
I should key your face into
Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball"
-Oh my God!
Don't do that.
Not even a little bit.
I'm gonna stop recording now.
Ooh!
-What's this?
-A studio.
-It's a music studio.
-Fancy.
Does music get made here?
-Yeah.
-Yeah. This is used for, that's actually
a bunch of recordings, on Spotify,
that has been recorded in here.
-Oh, cool!
Thanks for having me!
It was great!
-Awesome!
[laughter]
Thanks for coming!
