"Our new website is here,  if you're reading this page,   then you're on the new website.  

Everything is fully functional however much of it is still under development

We are currently testing, modifying page styles and adding products to it.  

Anticipated finalised version will be completed June 2012. (The bet is on it will be called Starsinger.tv)   

Almost 600 page styles are under beta development and if you are a regular viewer of emkaraoke, we appologise if stuff moves around.  But one thing is certain all products will be easily accessible due to the new easy access format.      

We are currently obtaining help and advice from Apple and Microsoft for new features which will be added end of Feb early March.   Thanks go to Apple for their incredible business support

Starsinger was established back in 1986 founded by Gill  former Professional Session Musician.  (piano & Saxophone)  Later developing M.I.D.I. engraved music  for theatre, concerts in the U.S.A. and Sound Stage Studios for Walt Disney Productions in Orlando Florida USA. 

Gill has Worked alongside many celebrity composers, one, best known by many,  Ray Walsh (Composer one Foot in the Grave TV Series & Quiz Show "Blockbusters" with the Associated Midi Programmers Guild)   Gill is well known for arrrangement's and publishing of the complete works from The Count Basie Orchestra distributed by the Music Exchange in Manchester, as well as live Performances alongside the Worlds Greatest Big band "The Joe Loss Orchestra" 

Gill also a  former senior mentor for business startups for the Princes Trust Foundation, and during her time has managed to  develop and actively encourage many young people to launch their own music related product ideas into successful businesses. 

 

(1987)  We started to produce music backings & Orchestrations in the UK for entertainers & Karaoke. Working alongside Chris Bucknall (Climax Blues Band, The Temptations”, Dionne Warwick & Take That) together with a hand chosen professional team of MIDI engravers, our music library was considered to be setting the industry standard.   Also working alongside Dave Smith (Roland Japan) we also helped to popularise & develop the General Standard & General Midi format (GS/GM) that is now commonplace within all modern keyboards and synthesisers today.  

1989-2007)  Back from USA Gill ran a very successful music store in Sherwood Nottingingham,  selling vintage synthesisers and other specialist music products.   One day a sales rep from BMB came in  holding a karaoke machine under his arm.  Almost within 2 weeks later Profile Music became Emkaraoke, having sold almost double the amount of karaoke systems than music related products, we were hooked on karaoke.  It was so much fun!    

2008 India Knight wrote about us in her book the Shops,  since then we haven't looked back, our phone lines are jammed with enquiries,  we have with honour and pride  supplied karaoke equipment to members of the Royal Family.   Owners of some extremely well known Newspapers, We have supplied for installation Karaoke Systems for some of the worlds largest super yacht's, also EasyJet, as well as an extremly famous Brummy  family  in L.A.
