playlist curator

Song sequence arranger

A playlist curator is someone who selects and arranges songs for a playlist, typically on streaming platforms like Spotify or Apple Music.

The role ranges from casual hobbyists assembling themed collections to professionals whose editorial picks can launch careers: Getting on a major playlist curator's radar can make an unknown artist.

The term elevates what might otherwise be called making a mix.
