We need you to help us bring Drop The Mic Karaoke to life right here in Clark County, WA!

Whether you're a karaoke pro or a first-time mic holder, Drop The Mic Karaoke will offer something for everyone. Our mission is simple: create a welcoming, family-friendly karaoke entertainment space that brings people together through the power of music.
We’re raising funds to make significant improvements to the space, and we need your support to make it happen! Drop The Mic Karaoke is more than just karaoke—it’s about building a community, having fun, and celebrating music as a universal language.
Check out our story, donate, and SHARE! Help us spread the word to bring this engaging entertainment venue to life!
What is Drop The Mic Karaoke
Music and singing connect us in powerful ways—they help us share emotions, overcome challenges, and create memories that last. When we sing together, we strengthen our sense of community and find joy in something bigger than ourselves.
At Drop The Mic Karaoke, we're building more than just an entertainment space—we’re creating a place for people to come together, feel seen, and celebrate life through music. Our “Mic Drop Moments” are about joy, confidence, and shared experience. With live-band karaoke, community events, and welcoming spaces for groups of all sizes, we’re here to spark connection and bring people closer—one song at a time.
Who is Drop The Mic Karaoke (Founders Story)
For nearly 20 years, Dianna and John Gray dreamed of entrepreneurship while focusing on raising their two sons and building a strong family foundation. Realizing that dream shifted after Dianna attended a live band karaoke event that left her energized and inspired with a new vision—one centered on creating shared, joyful experiences through music.
What started as a conversation soon became a calling. Dianna and John saw a need for more meaningful, community-driven entertainment in Clark County Washington—something that brought people together through connection and fun. With a leap of faith and months of planning, they committed to turning their dream into reality.
Now, after two years of research and preparation, they’re on the verge of opening a space and launching the next chapter: bringing the joy of music and togetherness to the heart of their community.
Why Drop The Mic Karaoke
Why karaoke?...because it’s not just entertainment—it’s connection. When we thought about starting a business, we didn’t want to build just anything. We wanted to create something that brings people together, something that uplifts, inspires joy, and makes lasting memories.
Karaoke does all of that. It gives people a chance to express themselves, to laugh, to step out of their comfort zones, and to share moments that matter—with friends, family, and even strangers. We’ve seen how powerful it can be to simply sing your heart out and feel supported while doing it.
As Clark County continues to grow, we saw a real need for more meaningful, community-centered experiences. Too many people are leaving town just to find the kind of joyful, music-filled atmosphere we want to offer right here. So we chose karaoke—not just because people love it, but because it creates connection in a way few other things can.
That’s why we’re building Drop the Mic Karaoke—to give our community a place to come together, celebrate life, and feel like they belong.
How you can help
We need to extend our reach to gain support from others who can afford to pitch in and want to support our goals. By making a financial contribution, sharing our crowdfunding campaign, or even reaching out to offer your services that may afford us room in our budget to re-direct funds where its needed, we can use anything that helps us make this vision come to life.
Why Crowdfunding
Community is at the heart of why we’re building this business—and it’s going to take community support to bring it to life. We’re are all in. We believe in this vision and our preparation. We have invested our own savings and using our home to secure a loan to cover most of our startup costs. Like any big project, unexpected expenses have come up—especially around plumbing, electrical, and kitchen upgrades that are essential to bringing the space to current code compliance and essential to our long-term vision. While we hadn't intended to crowdfund, we find that this could be the only way to bridge the gap between our dream and our financial reality.
That’s why we’re crowdfunding. Your support will help us ensure we can create a space that’s not only ready for opening day, but built to grow. From upgrading our kitchen to accommodate full menu service to enhancing bathrooms and future-proofing for expansion, every contribution moves us closer to offering an unforgettable experience.
We’re committed to building something exceptional—with a stage that makes everyone feel like a star, great sound and lighting, and private suites where people can connect. Your support helps us enhance every detail and deliver a venue our community can be proud of.
