Chris Dracox

5+ YEARS EXPERIENCE

As a Head of Global Music Programmer, I create & lead major editorial playlists that live in the spaces between the streaming ecosystem. I stay tuned into emerging trends and love diving into music analytics to blend creative intuition with new strategies.

I thrive on leveraging advanced tools to dig into performance stats and shape the industry to major forms — including mastering SEO strategies. I stay connected with artists, labels, and fellow distributors.

My passion for learning keeps me at the forefront, driving me to create content that sticks and adds a unique flavor to every editorial. Whether it’s refining existing playlists or launching new ones, I’m committed to making every track feel like it belongs to the lifetime of others.

My Role

Music Programmer | Editorial Designer | Data Curator | Head of Music

I listen to music around the clock. I’ve been leading the design and curatorial process on Spotify as a freelancer, where I create vibes that keep audiences hooked and trends that go viral faster than you can hit 'play.’ My days are spent designing covers that pop, spotting rising stars, helping them grow, diving into reviews like it’s my favorite sport and collaborating with major music agency gigs like PlaylistPush, Groover & SoundCampaign.

I live and breathe music—listening to tracks 24/7, (dancing is non-negotioable). I’m all about connecting with users, and understanding what they want before they even think about how their next jam should sound. It’s a talent, really.

My goal? To set trends, break some rules, and make magic happen. I mix data analysis with creativity, always keeping things fresh. I work with amazing collaborators to push boundaries, innovate, and, of course, keep the fun flowing. Music’s supposed to be exciting, right?

Basically, if it’s something an independent curator should or might do, I’m on it.— Headphones on, coffee in hand, and always a beat ahead.
