Straight Up with Apple Music's Austin Daboh

The most influential man in streaming, Apple Music’s Head of Editorial Austin Daboh, spoke to Kathleen and Eleanor about how he secured (and then almost lost) his very first job in the music business, how he created Spotify's game-changing Who We Be playlist, his thoughts on cancel culture, meeting JAY-Z, and his most surreal career moment to date. All over his favourite drink: a Hennessy and coke.
