Our Internal slogan: “At Sound Choice, The Only Thing that is Constant

is Change.”

Fast forward 13 years – September 2018.

The negative effects of piracy have forced

tremendous change on Sound Choice and the

karaoke industry. But we are still here and

working to get back to our roots of making the

best karaoke music available. With your help

and support we will be able to continue to

demonstrate for future generations that

Karaoke is the Fun You Never Outgrow.
