Committed to helping our singers achieve their dream of successfully singing karaoke and having fun.
The driving force behind KaraokePDX Ellie has been studying karaoke and what makes a great Kj since she first started hosting shows back in October of 2000. Before that she was running shows for friends and learning some of the tricks of the trade.
The first song she ever officially played as a Kj was "No Sleep Till Brooklyn". With 5 singers and a great deal of singing/yelling she was off and running.
Ellie's career spans 3 states each with its own quirks. First in California followed by Oregon and now in sunny Sarasota/Bradenton Florida. The majority of the time Ellie was contracted for weekly Karaoke nights at local bars and restaurants. The last few years she has been working private events with family taking up most of her time.
No matter where, she is passionate about providing the best sound system she knows how and making sure everyone has a good time. Ellie has a knack for quickly picking up on a singers vocal range and has helped dozens of singers broaden their repertoire. "Song choice is crucial if you want the audience to appreciate your singing." You could be Luciano Pavarotti himself and a group of 2o year olds will not understand.
