Birthday music the whole party picks 🎂

The birthday soundtrack, chosen by everyone who loves you

The classic birthday playlist problem: you spend an evening building one, it carries the first hour, and then it quietly dies while someone's phone takes over the speaker. By 10pm the music is whatever the person nearest the aux cable likes.

With dj-fy the playlist builds itself out of your guests. Share a QR code in the invitation or stick it on the snack table, and everyone queues the songs that remind them of the birthday kid — then votes, so the crowd favourites play first on your own Spotify.

It works for a 10-person dinner just as well as a rented-hall blowout: on the free plan guests pick from a playlist you choose, and a $5 Party Pass opens all of Spotify for up to 300 guests for five full days.

How it works

01

Create the party

Sign up, connect your Spotify, name the party ("Emma turns 25 🎉") and choose whether guests pick from your playlist or all of Spotify.

02

Share the code with the guests

Drop the link in the group chat before the party or put the QR code by the drinks. Guests join in their browser with just a nickname.

03

Cake, votes, and bangers

Guests queue and upvote all night. The most-voted song always plays next — nobody has to leave the dancefloor to touch the speaker.

💡 Host tips

  • Share the join link in the group chat a day early — you'll arrive to a queue already full of songs.
  • Cap songs-per-guest so one enthusiastic friend doesn't fill the whole queue.
  • Put the party screen on the TV: watching votes shuffle the queue becomes entertainment on its own.
  • For a surprise party, prep the queue beforehand with the guest of honour's all-time favourites.

Birthday parties: common questions

How do guests add songs at the party?

They scan the QR code (or tap the link from the group chat), type a nickname and search for songs right in their phone browser. Each added song lands in a shared queue everyone can upvote — the top-voted track plays next automatically.

Is dj-fy free for a birthday party?

Yes — the free plan covers a small party: up to 10 guests, guests pick from a playlist you choose, and up to 10 songs in the queue at a time. For a bigger night, the $5 Party Pass unlocks all-of-Spotify search, unlimited queue and up to 300 guests for 5 days.

What happens when nobody adds songs for a while?

The music never stops: whenever the guest queue is empty, dj-fy keeps playing from your chosen playlist, and jumps back to guest picks the moment someone queues one.

Can kids join at a family birthday?

Anyone with a phone that can scan a QR code can join — there's no account, no age gate on joining, and nothing to install. You control the song source, so a kids' party can run safely on a playlist you picked.
