Today we’d like to introduce you to Kevin Moore
Hi Kevin, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Mr. Kevin always loved music as a child. Kevin always participated in Talent Shows in middle school and also sang in church. Not only did Mr. Kevin love to sing he is also quite the comedian. Upon returning from the Marines Mr. Kevin began to venture out to Karaoke venues where he met his now mentor. Mr. Kevin watched and learned from his mentor and began filling in for him at karaoke. After Mr. Kevin mastered his skills, he took over as the karaoke host. Later Mr. Kevin went on to host other karaoke shows and reconnected with his childhood sweetheart/best friend who helped launch and market Mr. Kevin on a bigger scale. Once his manager/best friend started posting him on Instagram his career exploded landing him with much bigger and better venues working now 5-7 days a week. 13 years later Mr. Kevin and his Manager Lisa still run a very lucrative Karaoke business 5 days a week having worked in hundreds of Karaoke venues. Mr. Kevin is now known as the “Karaoke King of Baltimore helping to launch other karaoke KJ’s in their career endeavors. Mr. Kevin is also the father of “Jess Hilarious” the comedian where she gets all of her comedic personality from.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Business has been smooth over the last 12 years with gigs coming and going. The only real problem was Covid but we found a way to work even during the pandemic.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
although i do work a regular job at T Rowe Price my passion has always been karaoke. over the last 12 years i have consistently worked 2 jobs with karaoke becoming more lucrative than my day job.
Working karaoke hasn’t come without its hiccups as i went through a divorce during my 12-year tenure. Karaoke has become a major part of my life and i sometimes have to sacrifice important events, vacations and holidays but i love what i do it’s my passion and I wouldn’t change the journey.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
I would say I’ve been very lucky and blessed to be able to run a Karaoke Business consistently for 12 years. I have to say that I only do half of the work. a lot has been luck but mostly because I have the best Manager/Best friend in the world. Lisa has built relationships and connections with a lot of people. She does all of the marketing, planning, creativity and keeps recreating the business to keep it going. We have been friends all of our life we went to elementary, middle and high school together and we have been best friends for 45+ years.
