![]() TSX is Nick Holmstén’s new music-themed venture, set to launch in Times Square later this year and billed as a “Disneyland for music”. ![]() In January, Firefly announced that it had become one of the partners and investors of TSX Entertainment in New York. “And we would also like to strongly deny that there would be any kind of connection to Nick Holmstén, who left Spotify in 2019, that would affect our business.” As for the number of songs on Spotify’s playlists, we defer to Spotify, which controls the process for how songs get on playlists. In a response to DN’s story, Firefly CEO Peter Classon said in a statement (translated): “There is no direct relationship with Spotify or any other way that could affect the playlists. He then became Spotify’s Head of Music, with ultimate responsibility for Spotify’s playlisting strategy. Holmstén joined Spotify when the company acquired his music discovery startup Tunigo in 2013. DN raises questions in its report about the frequency with which Firefly’s music is landing on key Spotify playlists – and the fact that the label’s management reportedly has “close personal ties to a former Spotify executive”, which DN names as Nick Holmstén.ĭN reports that Holmstén has a “a close personal relationship” with one of Firefly’s founders.
