About / Biography

Contact us for an Ultimate Karaoke Experience! We provide all-inclusive fully-hosted Karaoke events, so if you have an incredible karaoke party in mind, you are at the right place!

I fell in love with karaoke after experiencing the vibrant and inclusive shows in Japan. Inspired to recreate that magic, I brought a bit of it back with me, incorporating it into events I attended. To take things to the next level, I founded sloKaraoke and teamed up with some of the most talented hosts I’ve ever worked with. Together, with my tech expertise, we’ve crafted a one-of-a-kind karaoke experience that’s all about creating unforgettable moments for the Central Coast.

With over 20 years of combined experience, our team brings a fresh and exciting energy to every performance, making them fun, inclusive, and memorable. Whether it’s at a fantastic local venue or a private party, sloKaraoke is all about uniting the community through extraordinary karaoke events.

This isn’t your ordinary karaoke. With incredible sound, synchronized lighting, haze effects, and more, every sloKaraoke performance is an event to remember. Plus, you’ll have the amazing Julie as your host to keep the energy high and the fun flowing!

If you’ve got that inner rock star itching to shine, you’ll definitely want to join us. Because at sloKaraoke, We Bring It, and we hope you do too!

We have over 60,000 songs in multiple languages. We've never encountered a case where someone couldn't find a song they would sign, even in the rare case their first choice wasn't available.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We fit in almost any space from small living rooms to large halls and outdoors. 15A 120V outlets are required near the console and speaker/monitor areas. Typically we can run extension cords to satisfy power needs as long as they can avoid pathways.


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We need to be informed of any noise limitations.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Our setup is ideal for any size venue or room and can even place outdoors. We provide everything needed for a great karaoke show. Amazing sound, wireless displays, mics, and speakers so we can position almost anywhere to get the optimum experience. We also can supply synchronized lighting and effects. All we need is power!


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.


What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Start by clarifying what you want to accomplish and the type of event you’re planning. Is it a team-building activity, a party with friends, or a celebration? This will help shape the “look and feel” of the event, such as the lighting and sound system required.

Consider the following:
* Will the event take place in one area or multiple locations?
* Do you want a unique experience, like silent karaoke, or a more traditional setup?
* Are there any noise or hours-of-operation restrictions?
* Is the space suitable for the expected number of guests?
* Is there enough time for all participants to perform?
At sloKaraoke, we’re happy to guide you through these considerations and tailor an event to fit your vision. Feel free to reach out—we’re here to help!

We have a team members that include hospitality experience as well as electrical/computer engineering experience and are well equipped to ensure your event goes as smoothly as possible.


What's your favourite type of event?

We love karaoke, pure and simple. It's amazing to see first time signers belt out songs and we take pride in helping them do that. Whether private party or large wedding, we are always happy to get the party started!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We've been participating in karaoke events for decades, starting with many events in Japan and world-wide. We realized we could bring karaoke to a new level and spread the joy that we have discovered. It's brining that energy and fun to people that keeps us excited about every event!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We enjoy all sorts and genres of music. It's actually one of the great aspects of karaoke: hearing songs and genres we wouldn't have otherwise encountered.


What types of customers have you worked with?

We’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide range of customers, including semi-professional singers like TakeIt-Slo!, an a cappella group associated with Cal Poly State University. We’ve also hosted private in-home parties, collaborated with corporate managers for events, worked with event planners to elevate their gatherings, and partnered with bar owners to bring high-energy karaoke to their venues. No matter the setting, we adapt to create a memorable experience for everyone involved.


Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

One recent project we’re especially proud of was working with TakeIt-Slo!, an a cappella group from Cal Poly State University. We helped them find the perfect venue and provided everything needed to make it a truly memorable experience. Thanks to our technical expertise, we quickly resolved some unexpected electrical issues at the venue, ensuring the show went on without interruption. The event lasted three hours and was an incredible experience for everyone involved—performers and audience alike!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Typically we get arrive 60-90 minutes prior to the event start, depending on requirements and complexity of the setup. Teardown usually take about half as long as setup. On top of the setup and teardown, the most common performance length is 3-4 hrs. We take care of everything to make it a stress free for our clients.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Weather permitting we love performing outside and are well equipped to do so. All we need is nearby power. But, even that is possible to get around. We've even done karaoke camp outs!


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

While we are happy to make recommendations and often do to help get things started, we do not direct which songs are sung. That's entirely under control of the client and signers choice. We have over 60,000 searchable songs to choose from!


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Soooo much fun!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Don’t hesitate to ask questions! Here are some key things to consider:
