Presto Music streams into Asia...

Presto Music, the leading specialist in classical and jazz music, has expanded its acclaimed streaming service into 11 Asian territories, marking another major milestone in its global growth. The Presto Music streaming service is now available in Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Macau - bringing the total number of countries served to 46.

Presto Music’s streaming platform stands apart in an increasingly algorithm-driven landscape. Drawing on decades of expertise in recorded music and a deep editorial tradition, the service offers human-curated playlists, in-depth reviews, and exclusive content that guide listeners through both landmark recordings and hidden gems. 

At the heart of the Presto Music offering is its Fair Play Initiative: artists are paid per second of music streamed, rather than ‘per play’ like other services. That makes a huge difference, especially to classical and jazz recordings where tracks can be significantly longer than the average pop or rock tune.

“We’re thrilled to bring Presto Music Streaming to more audiences across Asia than any other high-quality streaming service,” said Chris O’Reilly, CEO of Presto Music. “This expansion reflects not only the appetite for classical and jazz music in these vibrant markets but also our belief that streaming should support the people who create the music. Our Fair Play Initiative, human curation, and expert editorial approach mean listeners can engage deeply with the music, while artists are treated with the respect they deserve.”

·       250,000+ classical and jazz albums, many in high-resolution audio quality
