About Allison Hagendorf
Why this exists
This is a space for music, meaning, and the human stories behind the work.
I use audio, video, and reflection to explore what happens in the in-between moments — the conversations off-mic, the creative lineage behind the songs, and the quieter choices that shape a life in music.
I’ve spent my career working in and around music as an interviewer, host, and former Global Head of Rock at Spotify; but this space is about listening more closely than job titles ever allow.
Some posts share context around my video work and interviews. Others are more personal audio reflections, part of a series called Liner Notes for Life. Not everything here is loud or fast.
