ABOUT
Karaoke Stars Hawaii is the islands’ premier live band karaoke experience—where anyone can step up to the mic and become the star of the show. Based in Honolulu, the group blends top-tier musicianship with the electric atmosphere of a real concert, turning public events, private parties, and corporate functions into unforgettable nights of music and celebration.
Born from Hawai‘i’s deep-rooted karaoke culture—from garage parties to Magic Mic living-room sessions—the band was created to elevate a beloved island tradition. Founder B-Rob first encountered live band karaoke in Seattle many years ago and saw its potential to thrive back home. After co-founding Aloha Karaoke Band in 2017 and navigating the challenges of the pandemic, the vision evolved into a more polished, modern, and fully interactive experience. In 2022, Karaoke Stars Hawaii officially launched with a refreshed lineup of seasoned local musicians.
Today, the band brings a massive song list spanning decades and genres, from 70s classics and 80s rock to modern pop and island favorites. Their slogan, “We play, you sing,” says it all—performers of all skill levels are welcomed, supported, and encouraged to shine. With high energy, great sound, and the spirit of Hawai‘i at the center of every show, Karaoke Stars Hawaii transforms any event into a collaborative concert where the audience becomes the show.

ALUMNI
AUDITIONS
If you are a skilled musician interesting in joining the band, you are encouraged to contact us through email at KaraokeStarsHawaii@gmail.com to set up an audition. We meet regularly once a month; as a residency gig (one Saturday of the month at Bellow's Air Force Station). We also take one-off bookings here and there for private parties, public events, etc. Anyone who is interested is encouraged to audition. Temporary residents, multi-project musicians, military, locals, transplants, students, professionals, hobbyists, young, old, are all welcome to apply. These scheduling commitments however would have to be semi-regularly met.
To become a fully incorporated member, the applicant will be expected to be able to proficiently perform all of the songs that are currently available (refer to our song lists). Interested musicians are welcome to "intern" - becoming a live understudy, allowed to perform any of the songs that they currently know - at any of our public shows until they are ready to become independently responsible for the entire repertoire of songs. It is a large task, but we have taken great lengths to produce resources (sheet music, source .mp3s, etc.) that can assist any new musician joining us should they want/need it.

F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is "live band karaoke?" How does this work? Live band karaoke is a relatively new concept in the world of karaoke. It is what one would expect from a normal karaoke set up (an assorted selection of songs, provided lyrics, microphone and amplification, etc.) except that the music you are hearing - and singing along to - is being rendered in real time by you and the real life musicians standing next to you. Other than playing with live musicians, the two biggest technical differences from traditional karaoke to live band karaoke would be that 1) the lyrics do not automatically light up and scroll along by themselves and that 2) the catalog of songs to choose from is a bit more limited. Training humans to learn songs is a little more involved than dragging a computer file onto a karaoke mic, but we're constantly working on expanding our list of songs.
Can the same song be sung more than once? Yes. The band totally doesn't mind playing the same song multiple times in a night. There is no need to be so self-conscious. Our current record for "the single most repeated song" is 4 times in one night. If it's your jam, who cares if it's a repeated song, it's only 3 minutes or so. Just sing!
Do I have to pay to sign up for a song? No, you do not. The event/venue has already covered this fee. Your payment is your courage, so sign up, and sing.
Is there a limit to how many songs a single person can sing? No, although we may modify the que if one single person is signing up far more than others (hogging). We'll ensure that everyone gets firsts before seconds, but if there isn't anyone else signing up at a given time, we will be eager to have you as many times as you'd like. Sing away! You let us worry about these specifics.
How do I sign up to sing a song? Depending on the event, we will either have a physical pen-and-paper sign up sheet or an online google form accessible with your smart device. For those who are not interested in using their smart phone to sign up, a communal public device will be available on site to use in order to sign up to sing. If you can't be bothered with any of these methods, our off-stage assistant will be happy to assist you, all you have to do is ask them to sign you up for whatever song you're interested in singing. We're also pretty sure some younger or more tech-friendly relatives/friends will help with sign ups as well.
I don't want to sing alone. Can I sing a song with friends? Yes, absolutely. In fact, some of our songs are perfect selections for that, but regardless if the song is a group song or not, if you want to sing as a team, do it! The more the merrier!
Do I have to sing a song? Can I just watch? Singing is not a requirement. For some, part of the fun is just watching everyone do there thing, and if that's you, you are very welcome to just spectate. Additionally, if you're on the fence about singing with a live band, checking things out may be a great way to get an idea of what it's all about out before committing to a sign up. The aim of the game is to have fun, not to invite a massive amount of dread/anxiety.
How do I know when to start to sing? This is a great question. Either the host/hostess will help you start or one of the musicians will cue you in. The customized lyric sheets will have indicators on when to wait and start/resume when applicable, but this can be tricky. When all else fails, the band will help you.
What happens if I can't sing the whole song? What happens if I forget how a part goes or if I get lost somewhere in the middle? Although it is not ideal to have an "incomplete" performance, everyone will live and life will go on. It may be a little embarrassing for a brief moment, just be sure to smile and be rest assured that our team of musicians will help you through any troublesome/forgotten sections. This is the main reason for our host/hostess and musicians to be well-trained with songs, so that if there's any potential hazards, we can step in to help out. One secret about show business is that often times these little mistakes go by unnoticed by an audience, especially if you don't make a big deal about it / bring attention to it. Just keep smiling, and we'll survive. We're here to make you look good!
Are lyrics available? Do I have to look up the lyrics on my phone? Yes, lyrics are available. No, you do not need to use your phone to look up lyrics (although that may be a good idea to reference beforehand). We supply a 10" tablet with hand-crafted lyric sheets, cross-checked with our musicians to ensure that they are accurate and efficient. Although they are not self-scrolling like you may be used to with karaoke clubs/rooms/mics, they do include waiting periods and clues as to when to start/stop.
There's a song I'd like to sing but it's not available. How do I sing a song that is not offered? In order to get a song on the list that is not currently there, you can simply request for the band to learn it at any time via email - karaokestarshawaii@gmail.com or by filling out a physical "song request form" available wherever/whenever the band is performing. Do keep in mind that this is a time-consuming and skilled process however (time/skill to learn, transcribe, create lyric sheets, update the song lists, etc.), so we give highest priority to Patreon subscribers followed by monetary donations by regular supporters/singers. We do want to offer songs that people want to sing so please give us requests! If the unavailable song is wanted at the time of the event, unfortunately we will not be able to perform such a song. So, become a patreon, give us some time, and your wish may be granted!
The song I want to sing is too high/low. Can I sing a song in a different key? Unfortunately, no, this is not something we offer. Although in the perfect world it would be nice to be able to offer key changes as an option, it is just not feasible given the restraints of having real life musicians.
Can I book the band for an event/private party? Of course. In fact, this is why Karaoke Stars was put together! We offer entertainment for events of all shapes and sizes from as short as one hour to as long as three hours (for the die hard singing group). To book, you may contact us at karaokestarshawaii@gmail.com.
Can I play an instrument on stage?
Yes... sort of. If you just want to participate on an instrument we offer egg shakers and tambourines so you can be included with the performance other than being a singer. Alternatively, if you are a [legit] musician interested in playing with the band at a given event - either as a fixture for the entire night or just for one song - this can be arranged but needs to be sorted out beforehand.
I have a question that wasn't answered here, how do I get my question answered?
Email us over at karaokestarshawaii@gmail.com with your question and we will [eventually] populate our F.A.Q. with your question if it's a popular question.
I'm interested in joining the band. How would someone be able to join?
First we will have to determine what position you are interested in applying for (either primary or fill-in Drums, Bass, Keys, Guitar, Host/Hostess, Sound Engineer, Assistant), then we can set up an audition. This is a very straightforward commitment, we play the songs that we offer and have a good time doing it.
