About KaraokeCrowd

KaraokeCrowd makes karaoke easy to find, easy to plan, and easy to share.

Built by karaoke singers for karaoke singers, KaraokeCrowd is the social and discovery space for the global karaoke community. It brings singers, hosts, and venues together around trustworthy information about where karaoke is actually happening.

Our mission

KaraokeCrowd supports every kind of karaoke, from paper song slips to the latest hosting software. It is not karaoke hosting software, and it is not here to make karaoke more competitive. KaraokeCrowd helps people discover shows, connect with friends, make plans, and share memories from great nights out.

KaraokeCrowd's schedule stays current because hosts, venues, and singers all contribute: hosts and venues provide information about their shows, while singers confirm that events actually happened. Together, the community maintains a global karaoke directory that stays useful and trustworthy.

The base product is free for singers and hosts. KaraokeCrowd is privacy-conscious and GDPR-compliant. It is open to collaboration with karaoke software providers, local directories, venues, and other organizations that want to help the karaoke world become more connected and fun.

Every kind of karaoke

KaraokeCrowd brings together karaoke discovery, community, and social planning across the whole karaoke world. That means supporting every way karaoke is organized:

• Traditional paper song slips.
• Computer-based hosting systems.
• Mobile song-request and queue tools.
• Live-band karaoke.
• Private karaoke rooms.
• Venue-run karaoke.
• Independent karaoke hosts and KJs.
• New hosting technologies that have not been invented yet.

KaraokeCrowd does not replace or standardize those systems. Its role is to help people find the shows they will enjoy, decide where to go, plan with friends, and share the memories afterward.

The problem it solves

I got into karaoke at a company offsite in June 2024, and I've been a regular at my local Irish pub's weekly night ever since. When I travel, I want that same thing: find a local karaoke night and end up where the regulars already know the room.

Google Maps doesn't show schedules. You can see that a bar exists, but not which nights it actually runs karaoke. KaraokeCrowd answers that one question at a glance: which days, where, and is it still on?

What it does for you

If you sing karaoke, find nights near you or wherever you're travelling, see at a glance which days they run, and trust the listing because locals keep it current. Follow the rooms you love and get an email the moment a schedule changes, so you never show up to closed doors.

If you host or KJ a night, your page is a free, always-current home for it. Point your crowd there, let them follow you, and they're notified whenever you move a date or venue. Once you claim your listing, you control what it says. No fee, and no ads burying you.

If you run a venue, a claimed listing puts your karaoke night in front of singers who are actively looking for one tonight, keeps your schedule accurate, and gives regulars a reason to come back. It's free, and you decide what's on it.

How it started

• June 2024: I got hooked on karaoke.
• First Reddit post: I asked r/karaoke whether a community-maintained network could keep local karaoke info current, then built a prototype and asked for recurring lists, regional groups, and corrections.
• December 28, 2025: I launched a static first version, with venues and nights I maintained by hand.
• April 2026: I relaunched it as this login-based site, backed by a real database and a contribution / review system.

The idea quickly became social: local regulars, hosts, and guides watch over the places they know and confirm when a night is still active, changed, not happening, or over. That's still the heart of the project: a single confirmation can turn a stale listing into something people can trust tonight.

Who is behind it

Hi, I'm Sabine (/u/grumpi2 on Reddit). I studied computer science and have worked as a software engineer, so building the site is the part that comes easily to me: it's the real world of karaoke I'm still learning. I sometimes need a singer, a KJ, or a venue manager to explain how things actually work on the ground; but once I understand a problem, I'm good at making it work nicely. So if something here doesn't match how your scene really runs, tell me: that's exactly the input that makes KaraokeCrowd better.

I'm not building it alone, either. The karaoke community on r/karaoke and elsewhere keeps me grounded, the volunteers who add and update info make the directory real, and a few people close to me keep me going on the harder days.
