ourselves from the competition through the introduction of a music service that
is unlike any other. As a company which is present in many different countries,
we truly feel that to engage with the local audience, we need to break all
possible barriers and let music do the talking!”

part of our efforts in localizing content, KKBOX is currently working very
closely in collaborating with both major and indie local music labels, as well
as the Recording Industry Association of Malaysia (RIM) and Music Authors‘
Copyright Protection (MACP) in Malaysia.”
The
cool options available on KKBOX include ‘Rolling Lyrics’, which allows
users to enjoy an instant karaoke experience by turning their device into a mobile
karaoke jukebox. Another notable option is named ‘Listen With’, a live

another through social chatting and music sharing. Up till now, KKBOX has
engaged more than 1000 artistes from across the region for ‘Listen With’. The
