About Asian Pop Weekly

Established in 2010, Asian Pop Weekly has since cemented it’s place as one of the only English-language platforms that specialises in reportings on Mandarin popular music. Informed by a multitude of disciplines and perspectives both practical and theoretical, diverse and with an ear to the ground; Asian Pop Weekly exists between cultural, disciplinary and national boundaries precisely to demonstrate the possibilities that exist when you look beyond our differences.

We are obsessed with the notion of bringing Mandarin and Asian music to the world as a means of bridging cultural divides; unearthing the best of what the scene has to offer and presenting it to Western audiences in ways that intrigue yet foster understanding. We strive to produce fully independent, informed and intelligent content about the artists and topics we love; nothing more, nothing less.

About Jocelle Koh

The founder of Asian Pop Weekly and self-titled C-Pop guru, Jocelle discovered her passion for Mandarin music through an upbringing divided between time spent in Singapore and Australia. How she ended up having an affinity with Mandarin music is a mystery to many, but her thirst for knowledge and passion for bridging gaps has informed the foundation of Asian Pop Weekly today. As a music industry professional who has dabbled in everything from journalism and artist management to digital distribution, she wears a lot of hats; all in the name of bringing the music she loves to those who find it foreign.

In 2024, she established fluffle asia, the first Asian women's music collective to address a clear gap in support and discourse around womens’ issues in Asian music, and hosts the fluffle podcast.
