The London-based team’s unique voice-controlled music hub competes directly with Amazon Echo, Apple Music and Spotify and is throwing down the gauntlet for large American tech giants by offering a radically different consumer proposition. In addition to offering unlimited, ad-free music streaming, ROXI also brings families together by offering a much wider array of digital family entertainment, including karaoke-style singalong, music games, and therapeutic sounds.

Rob Lewis, CEO of Electric Jukebox said,
“So much great music has come from the British Isles. Now it is time for the best of British tech to come to America. Revolutionary tech will no longer be the exclusive preserve of the Silicon Valley giants. ROXI is proud to be the beginning of the next British Invasion in America.”

Simon Cole, CEO of 7digital said,

“With over 60 customers whose music services we power in 45 markets, 7digital is headquartered in London but has a truly global perspective. We’re delighted to be working with Rob Lewis and his team to bring ROXI to the United States. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved and excited by ROXI’s prospects.”

Unlike traditional music streaming services, ROXI requires no monthly subscription as it comes with a 1 Year Premium Music Pass for no extra fee. It also features stylish dedicated hardware including a wii-style motion sensitive controller and microphone for voice control and karaoke-style Singalong.

For sale at just $199 (USA)/£199 (UK) including all the software, hardware and a 1 Year Premium Music Pass, ROXI will be available from several major retailers including Amazon, BestBuy, Brookstone and multiple nationwide TV stations and shopping channels.
