Commercial Background Music for Vietnam

Fully managed, directly licensed background music for hotels, cafés, restaurants, and conference venues across Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Da Nang — covering all five commercial music rights under Vietnam’s collecting-society framework.

MUSICVYBE in Vietnam

Vietnam’s commercial music licensing landscape runs through two collecting societies — VCPMC for composition and performing rights, RIAV for sound recording rights. Between them, these bodies cover at most two of the five rights a business needs to legally play music in a commercial space. MUSICVYBE closes that gap with direct licences from IP owners covering all five: public performance of composition, public performance of sound recording, reproduction of sound recording, master/recording rights, and publishing rights for commercial use.

MUSICVYBE is a fully managed service — no dashboards, no playlist admin, no in-house scheduling. Our specialists (20+ years of combined experience) handle curation, scheduling, and compliance centrally, so venues in Vietnam get the same standard of service as our clients across Singapore and Malaysia.

Why Direct Licensing Matters in Vietnam

Music licensing for commercial premises differs fundamentally from the consumer streaming subscriptions most venues start with. Consumer streaming services are not licensed for commercial environments — a distinction that becomes especially material under Vietnam’s updated compliance framework, effective 1 July 2026.

Five Rights, One Subscription

Every MUSICVYBE subscription is built on direct commercial licences covering:

  1. Public performance of composition
  2. Public performance of sound recording
  3. Reproduction of sound recording
  4. Master/recording rights
  5. Publishing rights for commercial use

Rights 1 and 2 are traditionally the domain of collecting societies like VCPMC and RIAV. Collecting societies exist to manage exactly this. Rights 3 through 5 sit outside what collecting societies are structured to offer — they require direct licences from the IP owners themselves. Reproduction and master/recording rights sit outside that scope and require direct agreements with IP owners.

MUSICVYBE’s direct licences carry global rights, usable in any market, without paying local collecting societies on top.

Trusted Across the Region

MUSICVYBE’s fully managed service is trusted by leading hospitality and finance brands across Singapore and Malaysia, including Jewel Changi Airport, Fairmont Singapore, and UOB Privilege Banking. In Vietnam, Oakwood Saigon previously worked with MUSICVYBE, and Pan Pacific Hanoi is a current partner.
