Background Music for Ho Chi Minh City Businesses

Vietnam’s commercial centre, and the densest concentration of international hospitality in the country.

Ho Chi Minh City (Hồ Chí Minh City)

Ho Chi Minh City carries the largest share of Vietnam’s international hotel, restaurant and café operators. It is also one of VCPMC’s two primary operational hubs, which makes enforcement activity more visible here than elsewhere in the country.

MUSICVYBE previously worked with Oakwood Saigon, supporting consistent, brand-aligned atmosphere across the property.

Service Areas in Ho Chi Minh City

MUSICVYBE serves commercial venues across Ho Chi Minh City, with particular concentration in:

Music Licensing in Ho Chi Minh City

Music licensing in Vietnam runs through VCPMC for public performance of the composition and RIAV for public performance of the sound recording. Both operate nationwide.

Commercial music engages five separate rights: public performance of the composition, public performance of the sound recording, reproduction of the sound recording, recording and master rights, and publishing rights for commercial use. VCPMC and RIAV administer the first two. The remaining three sit with labels, distributors and publishers.

MUSICVYBE covers all five in a single subscription, closing the gap that VCPMC and RIAV licences alone leave open. Ho Chi Minh City licensing details →
