Vollou Launches into Asia with MACA Partnership

‍Vollou is expanding its setlist reporting platform into Asia, marking an important new phase in its mission to support fairer and more transparent music royalty reporting worldwide. As the first step in this regional expansion, Vollou has entered into a partnership with the Macau Association of Composers, Authors and Publishers (MACA) to strengthen live music setlist reporting in Macau.

This collaboration represents Vollou’s first engagement with an Asian music rights organisation and lays the groundwork for the broader adoption of automated reporting systems across the region.‍

Why Asia Matters Now

Asia is home to some of the world’s most active and diverse live music markets, with performances taking place across major festivals, touring concert circuits and an increasingly broad mix of venues. As these markets continue to grow, the need for accurate and transparent reporting of live performances has become increasingly critical for creators and rights organisations.

Through its expansion into Asia, Vollou addresses long standing issues in live royalty reporting by introducing music recognition technology designed to support rights organisations. The partnership with MACA shows how music recognition can modernise reporting workflows and better reflect real world performances.

Why Vollou

‍Live music royalty reporting has long presented challenges. Many existing systems still rely on manual reporting processes, which can be time-consuming and prone to missing data. As a result, performances may go unreported, and royalties may be delayed or misallocated.

Vollou built the tools to address these challenges through technology specifically for music rights organisations. Unlike existing reporting tools, Vollou provides a scalable, app-based setlist reporting platform powered by music recognition technology. The app identifies performed tracks and automatically generates complete setlists. This streamlines the management of performance data and royalty distribution.

By enabling rights organisations to access more reliable and structured performance data through a centralised platform, Vollou improves the accuracy of royalty calculations and supports fair collection and distribution for creators. This focus on automation, app-based workflows and data quality is what sets Vollou apart in live music reporting. ‍

Vollou × MACA

‍As part of this initial expansion, Vollou is partnering with MACA to strengthen live music reporting in Macau and support the development of a fairer, more transparent royalty ecosystem across Asia. Macau hosts a vibrant live music scene, from major events to a wide range of venues, making accurate performance reporting increasingly important for creators and rights organisations.

By incorporating music recognition into MACA’s reporting processes, MACA can collect and review performance data more effectively, supporting more accurate royalty distribution while streamlining operational workflows for live music reporting.

Looking Ahead

The partnership marks more than a regional expansion. It reflects a broader shift in how music performances are captured, understood and valued. By working closely with rights organisations like MACA, Vollou is helping lay the foundation for a more accurate, transparent and globally connected approach to live music royalty reporting across Asia.
