When did you first start singing at karaoke?
2 years old on grandma’s 8-track karaoke machine. I was sure every family had one of these things!
What is the best part about hosting karaoke?
I love when the shy kid or adult gets up to sing – that person who has never sung before – and after their song you just see them glowing with confidence!
If you could sing karaoke with any celebrity who would it be and what song would you do?
Steve Perry from Journey… definitely singing “Separate Ways”
Favorite karaoke moment while hosting?
Once a party starts I like to go around and introduce myself to as many people as possible so that they feel more comfortable singing. I met this man who told me he had never done karaoke but he loved to sing. I asked him to sing a duet with me and afterward several people from his family told me that he is autistic and he’s never gotten up in front of a crowd. I felt so honored to make him feel that comfortable to sing to all of his family and people he didn’t even know.

When did you first start singing at karaoke?
My first musical audition at age 6 was for Beauty and the Beast. I auditioned in a French accent. I’m not sure why, maybe I wanted to be the Candle Stick? I did not book the Candle Stick, but they wrote in a part for me as Sebastian the Cat. I wore a beret and had a mustache. I’ve loved impressions and performing from an early age.
What is the best part about hosting karaoke?
The best part about hosting karaoke is watching people enjoy themselves, and watching them lose themselves in the moment. I’m actually more of a comedian than a singer. So when I kick things off, I think people resonate with the idea of just going for it, and than they do. People can go up after me and not feel awkward, ha!
If you could sing karaoke with any celebrity who would it be and what song would you do?
Hit Me Baby One More Time with Britney Spears, because #memories. She was my first concert. I’d also love to sing a song with Kelly Clarkson from her original album…. I did get to work with her on a Wayfair commercial where I was asked to belt badly. I don’t always sing off-key, but when I do, it’s with a Grammy award-winning platinum artist.
Favorite karaoke moment while hosting?
Favorite moment hosting karaoke is watching kids rock out to Taylor Swift or to Sabrina Carpenter. These kids are obsessed, and it reminds me of my love for Britney Spears and N’Sync at their age. It’s fun to watch as they’re performing in their own private concert in a way, in their own home. It’s magic.
Karaoke go to?
Build-Me-Up-Buttercup is fun because of the call-and-response element. Some people may be shy at first, but when you hand them the mic, there is this light that turns out. They’re ready to rock.

When did you first start singing at karaoke?
My very first singalong moments were belting out the 90s radio jingles like “866-66-FASTER you’ve got the green light” and “947 the Wave,” and I have been singing ever since! This led to countless talent shows and eventually, musical and voiceover performances. And clowning..which, needless to say, is my favorite.
What is the best part about hosting karaoke?
I love seeing people of all ages get the chance to revel in the spotlight. Watching their friends and family cheer them on and sing along puts a big ‘ole goofy smile on my face!
If you could sing karaoke with any celebrity who would it be and what song would you do?
I would love to sing It's A Long Way To the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll) by AC/DC with the incredible Jack Black.
Favorite karaoke moment while hosting?
At a company celebration, a man sang a Frank Sinatra song, and I heard parts of his singing that sounded like Randy Newman. I immediately pulled him aside and said hey, you would sound incredible on a Randy Newman song. He lit up, sang You’ve Got a Friend in Me, and thanked me profusely for helping him discover a new talent. My heart was so full!
Karaoke go to?
Might as well put my playlists on shuffle! But some go to songs I absolutely love are “You Oughtta Know” by Alanis Morissette, “Fergalicious” by Fergie, and “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid.
