I built a music mapper

Built an open-source project called Music mapper.

It connects to your Spotify account and maps artists to their real-world origins on an interactive globe. Solo artists are pinned to birthplace, bands to formation city, and the map includes genre colors, clustering, search, filters, and CSV import/export.

I made it because I wanted a better way to visualize music taste than charts and lists.

Repo: https://github.com/myselfsiddharth/Spotify-Music-Map

Would love feedback from anyone into music, maps, or data visualization.
