Spotify's AI DJ plays music and delivers spoken commentary in a synthetic voice, acting like a personal radio host that knows your taste. It launched in 2023 and is now available in 60+ countries.
Details
Built using OpenAI's generative AI for commentary scripts and Sonantic's voice technology (acquired by Spotify in 2022) to synthesize the DJ voice. The English voice is modeled on a real Spotify employee, Xavier "X" Jernigan. A Spanish-language version launched in July 2024. In May 2025, Spotify added voice request capability, letting users speak to the DJ directly.
