Spotify has a secret they don't want you to know. Many of the most popular songs on their platform are from fake artists. These artists are responsible for billions of streams. Yet, while the identities of the musicians remain a mystery, the monetary benefit to Spotify - and other key partners - is clear for all to see.

In this video we'll be investigating the business of Spotify's fake musicians, who's behind it, why they're doing it, and where the money lies. We'll also be looking at the future of Spotify and where this trend is likely to lead.

The truth is, this isn't a clear cut story. Nothing being done here is illegal. But, while profits can be traced back to a few key players - entities including Spotify, Epidemic Sound and Creandum Venture Capital - the ramifications on the wider community for musicians and music lovers alike could be devastating.

Is this Spotify’s way of avoiding paying royalties to musicians? Or is there something else going on?

This is a story that takes us to Sweden, where Spotify has its headquarters, and where a little-known music production company has created a business out of making music that ends up on Spotify’s biggest playlists.

It also involves an investment firm that most people have never heard of, but whose role could have everything to do with the fake artist phenomenon.

It’s time to get to the bottom of this troubling situation.
