HOTIFY

"I'm perfectly comfortable," noted Spotify Global Head of Music Jeremy Erlich to Chief Content and Advertising Business Officer Dawn Ostroff as they posed with their team during the streamery's "Desert Kick Back" shindig at Coachella. "The temperature is 3,000 degrees, but with this pleasant breeze it only feels like 2,800." Later, there were popsicles. We kid! The event, at Zenyara Estate, was actually a poolside chill-out. Seen just before all the Easter eggs melted are (top, l-r) Bryan Johnson, Taryn Lacroix, Thomas Greubel, Allison Valenta, Madeleine Bennett, Joe Hadley, Erlich, Ronny Ho, Ostroff, Ashley Graver, Sydney Lopes, Michele Santucci, Mark Rush, Mary Catherine Kinney, Sarah Patellos and (bottom, l-r) Vic Trubowitch, Sulinna Ong, Preston Hershorn, Jules Parker, Jana Coffey and Tenaya Medeiros.
