About Next Generation Karaoke
Next Generation Karaoke is a Perth-based team of experienced karaoke hosts delivering professional events across the metropolitan area.
Next Generation Karaoke was established in 2007 and has been hosting karaoke events across Perth ever since.
Founder Rob first discovered karaoke in the early 1990s and quickly became a regular at shows around Perth. What began as a passion soon turned into hands-on experience, with Rob purchasing his first home karaoke system and learning the craft from the ground up. In 2007, that passion became a business — and Next Generation Karaoke was born.
Since 2010, Rob and Rach have hosted karaoke events together. Over time, they have built a strong and reliable partnership both on and off the stage.
Highlights over the years include venue residencies across Perth, corporate Christmas functions, performances at major event spaces and New Year’s celebrations.
Karaoke has taken us to birthdays, weddings, fancy dress nights, holiday parties and everything in between. At the heart of it all remains the same goal: creating fun, well-run karaoke nights where everyone feels welcome to sing.
Our approach
We pride ourselves on running professional, fair and enjoyable karaoke events.
- We maintain a large and regularly updated karaoke library
- We invest in high-quality audio equipment for clear sound
- We play upbeat music between singers to maintain atmosphere
- We operate a fair rotation system so everyone gets their turn
Singers are queued in order of arrival, with one song per round. Duets count as a song for each performer in that round, and we do not move singers ahead in the queue. The aim is simple — a relaxed and enjoyable night for everyone.
Where venues permit, we are happy to accommodate younger singers earlier in the evening in line with licensing requirements.
Equipment & Music
Our show setup is professional, reliable and suited to a wide range of venues. Since 2007, we have built a large, high-quality karaoke library sourced from multiple well-established manufacturers.
Our collection includes tracks from producers such as Zoom, Chartbuster, Sunfly, Capital Karaoke, Sound Choice, Music Maestro, Sundown NZ, Pop Hits Monthly, DKKaraoke and Pioneer Karaoke. We update the library regularly with new releases and popular requests.
We believe in supporting the karaoke industry by purchasing professionally produced tracks and maintaining a diverse catalogue rather than relying on a single source. This approach provides consistent sound quality, dependable playback and a broad range of music choices for singers and venues.
All karaoke content is stored locally as part of our show and hire systems. This ensures reliable performance without reliance on internet connectivity and allows our shows to run smoothly in a wide range of venues and environments.
We hold registration with MIPI and have permission from karaoke manufacturers to use our karaoke content digitally.
In addition to hosted karaoke events, we also offer karaoke jukebox hire and private or corporate bookings.
Ultimately, at its core, karaoke is about having fun. We respect our patrons and ask the same in return — come along, sing a song, enjoy the night and don’t take it too seriously.
Whether you’re a regular singer or stepping up to the mic for the first time, you’ll find a friendly and welcoming atmosphere with Next Generation Karaoke.
