Karaoke Jockeys

What is a karaoke jockey? A karaoke jockey is more commonly known as the Karaoke Host or the emcee running a karaoke show. Many karaoke jockeys (KJ's) are former DJ's or working concurrently as DJ's. If you are someone who enjoys singing for your supper, you will be happy to find out you can actually make money singing and emceeing a karaoke show, without being a recognized star. In fact, if you approach it from a business perspective you can earn a lot more money than the price of a good dinner. According to the American Disc Jockey Association, the national average earned in the DJ (including KJs) industry for running a 4-hour gig is $1,200. Of course to be successful, you are going to need to know a little more about the craft than just how to sing. You will not only need to hone your stage presence (SP) but also become skilled at operating the equipment, orchestrating the event, marketing your efforts, and accounting for your progress.
