The full form of VJ is Video Jockey.
A Video Jockey, often abbreviated as VJ, is a presenter of music videos, primarily on television. The term is analogous to "Disc Jockey" (DJ), which originated in radio. Video jockeys gained prominence with the rise of music television channels like MTV. VJs introduce videos, provide commentary, interview artists, and generally act as on-air personalities. They are the face of the music television channel and build a relationship with viewers through their unique style and knowledge of music.
The term was popularized by MTV in the 1980s, although the concept of presenting music videos on television existed before that. The MTV founders drew inspiration from Merrill Aldighieri's club, which likely influenced their vision for VJ host personalities.
