Warner Music Group’s ADA Asia and Warner Music Vietnam have entered into a new partnership with one of Vietnam’s top aggregators and entertainment companies, Yin Yang Media.
Yin Yang Media specializes in pop music and “many legendary Vietnamese tracks”, according to Warner. The company’s catalog includes more than 60,000 tracks.
Under the new deal, Warner Music will be supporting and working with top Vietnamese stars such as Bích Phương, Dalab, Hà Anh Tuấn, Noo Phước Thịnh, Hoàng Dũng, and Phan Mạnh Quỳnh.
It will also represent the catalog of iconic artists including Đan Trường, Hồng Ngọc, Lệ Quyên, Phương Thanh, Tuấn Hưng and Tuấn Ngọc.
ADA Asia launched in September 2020, with the new division extending ADA’s service across Greater China, Korea, and South East Asia.
In October 2020, ADA Asia inked a deal with one of Indonesia’s largest music companies, DPM.
In February, ADA Asia announced that Chiou Rei Min had been named as Head of Greater China, Jin Hwang as Head of Korea and Tan Wei Keng as Director, Business Operations.
This month, ADA Asia further announced that it has formed a strategic alliance with Lilystars Records, a prominent independent record label based in Manila.
