He he he...I imagine there's a forum for just about anything and everything nowadays, and I just found what I never was looking for.
I'm just a singer (bashfully), not a DJ, but I thought this to be interesting and maybe some fun to be able to relate to other singers and DJs about the topic.
My name is Perry. I live in IN. I'm 41 years old, and started trying to sing karaoke a couple years ago. Why? My life was getting a bit redundant, and I've always been kinda shy, so I thought this might help me overcome any social anxieties that I've diagnosed myself with over the years.
I'm a truck driver. But not the kind who is all over the country typically. I've worked for the same company for about 8 years, been going to the same place for the same amount of time, and I unload my truck at several locations myself, kind of like the UPS or Fed Ex guy, but more casually dressed.
I started this karaoke thing on a dare from someone who provoked me at a hotel lounge a couple years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. This is in a different state than where I live. I haven't done much in my hometown as far as the karaoke thing.(maybe better off...if people don't know me, they won't be offended by my singing)
And the truck driving thing helps me get plenty of practice, I mean, what else do I have to keep me awake?
I started out doing country music...Toby Keith, George Strait, Lone Star, and others that I've forgotten by now because I've turned in a different direction, something more natural to me overall...ROCK!
And I have to say that my voice sounds the most like Chris Cornell from the group Audioslave, hence my username here. I also do Pearl Jam, Meatloaf, Foo Fighters, Staind, Eagles, Steppenwolf, just about anything that I've practiced, I won't go in blindly.
And the place that I sing at always has the latest monthly rock CD+G from Top Hits Monthly, so I'm totally addicted.
I could go on and on here, but this is just an intro, so I'll cut it here.
I hope to learn something here as well as listen to other's experiences. Thanks for having me. Perry :handshake:
