I'm guessing you're thinking smaller independent artists would "need" this?

Most artist's websites are created by their management/label/etc. They'll want to have tour information, and lots of other stuff than what Spotify might know about them. There's no way to add concert images/media and personalize it. This is just a reskinning of Spotify and drastically limits usability

This seems like a nice experiment of "can I use a 3rd party API to create a new thing" which is a valid thing to be able to do. And you've made a nice little thing with it. Is it practical? If you're goal was to learn and hack together something, then mission accomplished. Job well done. Is it practical for the artist? Sorry, but I don't think it is.

Let's say you're not wrong! I've been in the music industry for a while and I know a lot of musicians and producers who wanna have a simple website to promote their music and social links. That's why link-in-bio services have become very popular between artists btw.

The goal of Noise is to help musicians build simple beautiful websites without too much effort (think link-in-bio service mashed with Squarespace) and I'm only using Spotify as a starting point for building the site.

I'm already working on important features to get out of the "Reskinning Spotify" phase into the next level phase. Features include connecting to a custom domain, analytics, connecting to tour platforms like bandsintown etc..

I honestly believe there is a huge market for this but time will only tell. Nevertheless, I can understand where you're coming from so thanks a lot for the feedback!

With that insight, then it does sound like you might be on to something and heading down a decent path. By heading down, forging your own of course

I'm the guy in the meeting that always says you're demoing the thing too early, as it's not yet representing the full thing. Some people in the room want to constantly show progress and look for gold stars, and some people think it's premature and people will not get the full idea and think it's not what they need. Pretty obvious which group I'm in. There's probably some people in the room with other ideas too. Damned if you do, damned if you don't?
