music curator

Sound collection organizer

A music curator selects and organizes music for others—assembling playlists, programming radio shows, or choosing what plays in a venue.

The term borrows from museum work, suggesting thoughtful arrangement rather than random selection.

She works as a music curator for a streaming service.

The role has expanded with digital platforms, where algorithmic and human curation compete.
