Karaoke King 

Cameron Macintosh was once quoted as saying, “The Philippines is a gold mine of talents; it is the most song-oriented country in the world.” But among the respectable singers this side of the globe, the Cebuano always stands out: Pilita Corales, Dulce, Vernie Varga, Rico J. Puno, Vina Morales…and the list go on and on.

In the mall, you can probably hear an enchanting, exhilarating vocal style that could have been Regine Velasquez or Martin Nievera. Well, guess again. It wasn’t Asia’s Songbird or the Concert King, after all it was somebody else. Aspiring singers can now have a change to be famous as a recording studio-cum-booth located at both SM and Ayala Center is set up for them.

Most up-and-coming recording artists are actually being required to have a demo tape. With the advent of so-called high technology, a CD of your own recording can come true.

In the confines of the small studio, the enthusiast can belt out all those high notes sans a care in the world, with the help of a videoke machine, and a state-of-the-art recording apparatus.

This is the raison d’ etre of Karaoke King And Queen. No wonder, Cebuanos is truly one of a kind singer.
