How to Get Your Music
on JOOX
Reach Southeast Asian listeners through karaoke, charts, and local curation
JOOX built its audience in Southeast Asia — particularly Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Myanmar — with a feature set that leans into regional listening habits, including built-in karaoke (VIP Karaoke) alongside standard streaming. That combination of streaming and social/karaoke features gives it a different engagement model than Western DSPs.

Tips to Succeed on JOOX
If your audience is concentrated in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, or Thailand, JOOX's regional charts and playlists carry more local weight than a global platform's regional tab.
Consider how your track might work in a karaoke context, since JOOX's VIP Karaoke feature is a genuine engagement driver in its core markets, unlike most Western streaming apps.
Pair JOOX distribution with region-appropriate language tagging (Cantonese, Bahasa, Thai) to improve placement in local-language discovery surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is JOOX relevant if I don't sing in a Southeast Asian language?
It's included in every DistroVibe release at no extra cost, so there's no downside. The strongest upside is for artists with ties to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, or Thailand specifically, where JOOX has meaningful market share.
What is JOOX's karaoke feature and does it affect royalties?
VIP Karaoke is a built-in feature letting users sing along to tracks. Usage through JOOX, including karaoke plays where applicable, is reported and passed through via your standard DistroVibe royalty reporting.
Who owns JOOX?
JOOX is backed by Tencent, the same parent company behind China's QQ Music and Kugou, though JOOX itself operates primarily across Southeast Asian markets rather than mainland China.
