Last year, Spotify had about 9,800 full-time workers, and the company expected to pay at least €35 million (£30 million) in severance-related costs.
Since its start, the Swedish company, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, has invested a lot of money into new markets and, in recent years, has been making exclusive content like podcasts to help it grow.
In October, the company said it would hire fewer for the rest of the year and into 2023.
Spotify layoff announcement comes when tech companies face a slowdown after two years of hiring many people to help them grow because of a pandemic.
During the last several weeks, hundreds of individuals, including some of the most well-known personalities in the industry, have announced that they will be quitting their occupations.
