What is Playlist Paddy?

The link between playlist curators and the people making music.

Artists, managers and labels choose a campaign package for their song. Playlist Paddy matches the song to approved playlists in the right genre and sends each curator a request — then checks every placement before it counts.

What is a curator?

A curator is anyone who owns or manages a playlist on a streaming platform — and decides which songs belong on it.

DJs & radio hosts
Music blogs & media brands
Genre & community tastemakers

Every playlist is reviewed before it goes live, including confirmation that you own or manage it.
