I'm not a huge fan of spotify or any streaming service for "music discovery" (maybe would've said different a decade ago). But I really like listening to the radio for music discovery - especially handy with the Shazam app. College and local radio stations are quite varied in the playlists so I'd recommend checking them out either on the fm dial or online - given my background I'd recommend KDVS and KALX college stations (available online too) along with "local" station KEXP (available online). KEXP also has a wide assortment of "live in studio" performances available on their website and youtube which can be good for digging more into an artist.

But some of the best songs/artists I've discovered have just been hearing the song somewhere and using Shazam - then spotify to dig more into the artist.

Good luck in your endeavor
