About us
A collective of professional karaoke DJs in NYC.
Founded in 1992, we are a small team of professional karaoke DJs from NYC and Westchester County. We host every kind of karaoke event, from kids parties to corporate wraps to weddings.
David handles every booking personally. No call centres, no automated quotes, just a conversation that ends with the right setup for the room.

Years on stage

Track library
Voted Best Karaoke DJ for ten straight years by the top NYC publications. We let others shine while holding a great energy through the night.
Every DJ on the team is a full-time professional. Karaoke needs more than a good DJ; it needs a proper sound engineer. Nothing kills a room faster than a muffled vocal or a burst of feedback, and a top KJ knows how to blend the backing track with the singer’s voice so the room and the singer both leave happy.
We work across NYC, Westchester, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Have mic, will travel.

“I needed a Karaoke DJ for my son's first birthday party and we all had a great time. Dave is very professional and accommodating. The DJs did a great job of blending songs and activities with kids while keeping the adults dancing and singing too. He even set up a big screen to play our slideshow and display the karaoke lyrics for the crowd, which was a big hit. Highly recommended. Would definitely hire again.”

“Out front with you the karaoke was a blast and my friends and family could not stop laughing, dancing, hugging, taking photos. Pitch-perfect from our very first meeting. Thank you for ensuring that the most important weekend for our family had the absolute greatest memories.”

“DJ Dave was warm, professional, and a perfect collaborator in bringing our wedding karaoke reception to life. DJ Dave really kept the energy in the room on a high the entire event. Could not recommend a better vendor for karaoke at your next event, including weddings.”

“I had DJ Dave for my wedding after seeing him for years do karaoke night. I figured he's awesome doing karaoke, let's go with what I know. I had NO IDEA he would be the most adept, fluid, engaging wedding guru.”

“We had Dave DJ our son's Bar Mitzvah party and he was SO WONDERFUL. Dave is warm and kind, easy-going, responsive and creative. He made the genius suggestion that we add karaoke, which was a real hit. The party was fabulous because he kept everyone dancing and having the best time. I can't recommend him highly enough.”

“David and his staff are just awesome. Professional, accommodating, sincerely interested and concerned. Our wedding party was awesome, we ended up with microphones singing (very loudly) at the end of the night and dancing until everything hurt. I cannot wait to have another party with David. I am thinking karaoke.”

“I had a very specific vision for a karaoke wedding, and was unable to find any DJ who could really understand what I wanted. After having one conversation with Dave I knew I had found my DJ. So many people came up to me afterwards commenting on how well he flowed seamlessly between karaoke and dancing and did not miss a beat. He got every person dancing the entire night.”

“Our karaoke after party was even better than we imagined. David was amazing to work with beforehand and even helped us with extra lighting equipment for our reception at the last minute. The Karaoke DJ was all set up when we got to the after party and immediately kicked the night off. We had so many people who wanted to sing, we extended by an extra hour.”
