Spotify pausing with Apple Pencil

I’m a digital artist who uses a 9.7 inch 1st gen ipad pro with a 1st gen Apple pencil. Naturally, when I’m using Procreate to draw, I like to play music on Spotify. But I notice that when I long press with my pencil, including sometimes when I’m just drawing a line, my music will pause and then continue when I pick my pencil back up. Any ideas what may be causing this or if there’s a possible fix? Thanks!!
