New music streaming platform ROXi adds another major name on their list of investors as world renowned Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue vowed to commit a stake in the company, joining several big names in the music industry as one of its backers.
The Grammy award-winning Australian singer will join the likes of English singer-songwriters, actors and personalities such as former Take That member Robbie Williams, Alesha Dixon, Sheryl Crow, Stephen Fry, and former Formula One (F1) Racing and McLaren executive Ron Dennis, as investors for the music streaming app.

With over five decades of her musical career which has led her to rise as one of the biggest and most successful music artists of all time, Minogue's addition to the company as an investor could not just influence the company's internal processes, but also the market response to ROXi. Minogue has been the best-selling female Australian artist to date. She is marked as the first female solo artist to achieve a number one album in the UK album charts for five consecutive decades.
Her most recent one, Disco, was only released last November 6. And now it has made again to the number one spot of the album charts. All of the songs in the album were made only during the pandemic, with Minogue recording the songs and vocal tracks in her home studio.
