The United States Karaoke Alliance is a group of Professional Karaoke Companies that have banded together in an effort to create a more positive, more professional environment in the karaoke industry.  Foremost we love music and want to create good, clean, honest fun for other music lovers and also create revenues for the clubs that host our services.   

We openly invite other Karaoke Companies to join us in our efforts and be part of our group.  As a member of the Alliance a company must meet the requirements of and comply with the following code of ethics. 

1.        Technology and Music Selection - We support the latest in technology. It allows for higher quality shows with less skipping discs, better fill time between songs by using upbeat classic party music, and safety in protecting discs from being stolen or damaged at a show.  However, while we do not require a KJ to validate their music collection (see our Validation Program), we hope all of our members have legal 1 for 1 copies.  To explain this every song in every set of music must have the original on a karaoke disk to back it up.  If running 5 shows at a time, the host or company must have 5 copies of the disk.  If using mp3 type of player, CAVS type player, computer or burned discs, you must have one to one copies for each system. If you company is running 3, 4 or 5 shows per night then you must be purchasing and have in your inventory that same corresponding number of copies. 

2.        Insurance - While we do not require it we highly recommend Liability insurance for your shows.  This is to protect your vested interest and covers you in case the bar requires you to have insurance. .  A small annual fee in exchange for peace of mind. It is strongly recommended for your protection.  Members of the USKA have the ability to add discounted insurance via the WEDJ insurance policy and their membership.   USKA Members demonstrate a desire to do business ethically and professionally.  See www.uskaraokealliance.com for benefits.

3.        License or Trade name - Any legitimate business must have a business license or a certification of their tradename.  Hobbyists (who do this as a side job) often disappear leaving bars stuck at the last moment and often hide illegal music or sub par equipment by not having a valid license so they can be tracked.  This is also to protect you personal assets if you are unfortunate enough to be sued.  Keep your business and personal assets separate. 

4.        Wholesome Entertainment - The saying, “sex sells” may work in some advertising campaigns or karaoke companies, but not with United States Karaoke Alliance (USKA).  USKA wants wholesome family type atmosphere.  No lingerie’ shows or provocatively dressed hosts will be accepted in this alliance.   We want no connections to the adult entertainment industry.  We want to foster a warm caring, comfortable environment for everyone where we can all enjoy music together.

5.        Training Program - We are currently working on an actual Karaoke Hosting Certification.. We actively train all hosts in MC skills, reading crowds, dealing with issues, and music and equipment theory in respect to adjustments and troubleshooting.  Companies can use our program or show us their current methods to be included.

6.  Professionalism -  We can not set the rules for your hosting companies and how you do business, however, by joining we ask you to observe professionalism and honor a "best for the bar" approach.  Do not drink to excess, do not spend half the night outside on smoke breaks, treat your patrons respectfully,  set rules for timeliness so that all shows START when they are scheduled.  We do this for fun, but it represents a career for many of us and hope that all treat ti with the respect that it deserves.
