HiddenWave
Spotify-powered music discovery platform that analyses your listening habits to surface hidden gem artists, emerging talent, and underground music the mainstream algorithm misses.
The Challenge
Spotify's algorithm promotes popular, well-known artists while burying underground and emerging talent. Listeners who want to discover genuinely new music are stuck in recommendation loops of the same mainstream acts.
The Solution
Built a taste-analysis engine that reads your Spotify listening data — top artists, tracks, genres, and play history — then searches for lesser-known artists in your favourite genres, scoring them by genre overlap, popularity, and follower count to surface music you'd never find on Discover Weekly.
