WORLD PEACE THROUGH MUSIC

9-11-23(REVISED 6-17-24) I started listening to music in the nineties. I used to record songs off of the radio and memorize them. I still know the whole Humpty Dance and Bust a Move, Ice Ice Baby, tons more. Here is some of the music that has influenced my life.

In 2012, in the town of Weed, CA they had a bowling alley(Cedar Lanes) with attached bar and they would have Karaoke twice a week. I like to sing, but I didn't want to sing any of mainstream songs on their list. I easily Googled how to make my own Karaoke Vids and I mastered it well. I was bringing my own custom tracks to sing every K night. I became very popular at the bar and I don't even drink! I would even take requests from other townspeople. They called me the Karaoke Wizard.

Anyway, when I started adding music to my blog I realized the exact reason I had learned how to make Karaoke videos.

When you hear new music you sometimes run into the problem of not understanding the words over the sound, therefore, not digesting the song's message correctly. And who likes going through the trouble of looking up lyrics(besides me)?

Well, with Karaoke videos I am able to remove(or reduce) the vocals altogether and YOU CAN JUST READ the lyrics yourself, so you intake the song better. The following is my Karaoke video collection. Just download them and ask your local KJ if he or she will let you sing it. Eventually I will explain every simple step I take to make these and you can make your "own."

Karaoke Videos I made with Mixcraft 7 and vocalremover.org:
