| John Marks |
Marks joined Spotify in 2015, overseeing all things country for the Nashville, United States and Global music curation/programming and growing country globally for Spotify. Marks spent most of his career in programming and operations in terrestrial radio. He moved to Nashville over ten years ago to work at SiriusXM.
“It has been a privilege to work at Spotify since the beginning of its Nashville journey,” says Marks. “But I am also excited about what adventures lie ahead. I want to thank Jeremy Erlich, Rachel Whitney, our editorial team and the entire Spotify crew for the work that we have accomplished both in the United States and internationally.”
“When John Marks joined Spotify, he brought a wealth of knowledge and passion for the country genre—and has been an incredible asset to the Nashville team,” says Jeremy Erlich, co-head of Music, Spotify. “John will be truly missed and we wish him well.”
Rachel Whitney, who joined Spotify over a year ago as Head of Editorial for Nashville, is leading the team that covers all things country, Christian, gospel, folk, Americana and roots music. Whitney has over 15 years of experience in Nashville working at music companies such as Pandora and Youtube, where she led country music programming.
In a statement Spotify declared, "Country music on Spotify not skipping a beat. We have an established local team that will ensure we are continuously connected to the Nashville community."
