“Now that we’re all stuck indoors, staying motivated can be tough. But during lockdown, music is a huge part of influencing what we do and how we feel. We know you’re already trying to push harder with our ‘Sport Motivation’ playlist, which has boomed in the last few weeks. But it’s still tough to keep pushing when every day looks the same.

Our ‘Workout With…’ series aims to give you that extra motivation, with your favorite artists becoming part of your exercise regime. So in the words of Zara Larsson – “Repeat after me: I can, I will, I must!’” said fitness buff Nigel Harding, Deezer’s VP of Global Artist Marketing.

Here’s some motivational quotes from the series:

As always, we will write about artists who contact us - or who we contact - for free - but we can no longer work free of charge for PR agencies.
