00:00Could you please identify yourself for the committee?

00:02My name is Daniel Ek, and I'm the CEO and co-founder of Spotify.

00:05Mr. Ek, you previously described Spotify's mission as to unlock the potential of human creativity

00:13by giving a million artists the opportunity to live off their art.

00:19Yes.

00:20How is your progress towards that?

00:22Excellent.

00:23Our top-tier club of artists who can support themselves from streams has doubled in the

00:28last three years and tripled since 2015.

00:30That's impressive.

00:31So at your current rate of growth, you would hit that one million figure in just under 75

00:39years?

00:40Your business model just doesn't work for musicians, does it?

00:44That's not true.

00:46What are the average earnings of an artist not in your top tier?

00:50Well, the number of artists changes so fast for us to know.

00:53Mr. Ek, from your own data, I can see here that the figure is $12 a month.

00:59Could you live off that?

01:00Well, that number is not verified.

01:03It's taken from your own results.
