With China Already His #2 Global Market, Carl Doy Expands Footprint via DRM and The Orchard Network Partnership
Aotearoa’s piano icon Carl Doy is taking East Asia by storm, and a powerhouse collaborative push is about to amplify his reach even further. DRM is leveraging its extensive global footprint, plugging directly into our wider network of international teams and Chinese counterparts to export Doy’s music to major local platforms like QQ Music.
The move perfectly aligns with an exploding fanbase: East Asia already commands over a third of his global streaming audience, with China ranking as his #2 market worldwide. Driven by the massive success of his interpretations of Chinese classics, led by “The Moon Represents My Heart,” which recently cleared half a million monthly streams and YouTube views alike, this cross-border synergy provides the perfect bridge to supercharge Doy’s development and bring his timeless catalogue straight to millions of eager new listeners.
