The Bell Tower, Kenan Stadium, The Dean Dome — UNC is known for its famous photo-worthy sights across campus. And a new Spotify account aims to capture UNC's signature sounds.
As of March 12, a University Spotify account compiled by Tar Heel Social is highlighting music that represents campus life.
Junior Lizzy Campbell, along with the other members of Tar Heel Social, strive to make the Spotify account student-driven in every aspect.
Campbell said the account highlights student organizations across campus such as Carolina Performing Arts, UNC’s Music Department and UNC’s a cappella groups.
The playlists each cover a certain vibe or mood specific to UNC student life, Campbell said. Examples include “POV: You’re on a Wellness Day” or “Crossing the Quad.” The account also caters to new students with a playlist for the upcoming Class of 2025.
“It represents Tar Heels everywhere,” Hunter Sigmund, a junior member of Tar Heel Social, said.
The Tar Heel Social program, formerly known as Carolina Social Influencers, came up with the idea to create the Spotify account in 2019.
When the pandemic hit, Tar Heel Social decided to finalize the Spotify project. Members like Campbell and Sigmund said music could connect people with the University even if they are not on campus.
One purpose of the Spotify account is to showcase the diversity of perspectives and experiences within the Tar Heel family, Sigmund said.
