Music professionals are among the groups whose jobs and ability to earn money have been most affected by the prolonged Covid-19 situation. This is why JOOX, the number one music community app in Thailand, continues to support the music community with a range of experiences to keep the industry on track.
Through various campaigns, such as JOOX ฟังfrom Home, JOOX #SAVEคนดนตรี, I Love Your Voice singing contest, and Open Pub Thip Every Friday Night, JOOX aims to provide support for music professionals by giving them a chance to generate income and perform live online concerts, in front of their fans. JOOX believes these activities will help create happiness, relieve stress and drive away loneliness for all Thai viewers.
Mr. Krittee Manoleehagul, Managing Director of Tencent (Thailand) Company Limited and Executive at JOOX Thailand, revealed: “People in the music industry are considered to be among the professional groups most directly affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. When measures to refrain from holding concerts and closing pub, bar, and restaurant businesses at night were announced, musicians could not work or make money. Moreover, as the pandemic progressed, music professionals lost their income, happiness and overall morale as they were unable to sing, dance or play the music that they love. As Thailand's leading music platform, JOOX continues to organise activities to support music professionals in all fields, from artists, independent singers, DJs and record labels, to team members at music events. We recognise everyone as an important cog to drive the Thai music industry. At the same time, we believe that the sound of music and the joy these activities bring will help create happiness and return smiles to our users and all Thai people.”
