Unfortunately, it's impossible to freely change your Spotify username — but there are a few workarounds.
One solution to the issue is to connect your Spotify account to Facebook. This will replace your original Spotify username with your Facebook username. And whenever you change your Facebook name, your Spotify name will update to match. You can make this change from the desktop or mobile app.
Another solution is to change your display name, which will override your Facebook name if your account is already connected to Facebook. This won't change your real username, but will alter the name that everyone sees you as. However, you can only make this change from the mobile app.
Lastly, you can ask Spotify to change your username directly. However, there's no guarantee that they'll help you.
