Can You Change Your Spotify Username?
Before you make any changes to your Spotify account, be aware that you can’t actually change your username. What you can do is change your display name in the Spotify mobile app, which will then be visible in your public profile. ..
This change will apply to your account as a whole, meaning that your updated display name will appear on your profile in the Spotify desktop app, in the Spotify web player, and in your public profile that others can view. This would be the name you and others would see when you create a collaborative playlist.
You can’t add a custom display name using the web or desktop interface, but you can link Spotify to your Facebook account as an alternative. This will result in your display name updating to use the name used on your Facebook profile.
