Your stage. Your song.

k5e runs live karaoke nights. Singers use k5e Spot on their phone to get in line, request songs and see when they’re up. Hosts use k5e Cue to run the queue, the rotation and the screen for the room.

Create your free k5e Spot account at spot.k5e.live any time, even before your first night. At the venue, scan the QR code on the screen or type the event code, then request your songs. Spot runs in your phone’s browser; add it to your Home Screen and it opens like an app.

Hosting with k5e is by invitation during the soft launch. Request host access opens an email to [email protected] with a short template: your name, your venue and city, how often you host, what you use today, where your song library comes from, and whether you want the desktop app or k5e Player. We’ll get back to you. Already hosting with k5e? Sign in at cue.k5e.live.

Create a k5e account with your email, or use Sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple. When you choose Google, k5e receives your name and email address to create and identify your account, nothing more. k5e never posts to your account and does not access any other Google data.

When your host turns notifications on for the night, Spot can tell you when you’re getting close, when you’re next and when you’re on. On iPhone and iPad, notifications only work once Spot is on your Home Screen.

No. When a host charges entry or takes tips, Spot shows the entry amount and how your host takes payment. The money goes straight to your host: k5e doesn’t process payments.

No download. Singers use k5e Spot in their phone’s browser with a free Spot account. They can make one before the night, or at the venue after scanning the QR code on your room screen.

Singers search the song catalogs on your event, and you can let them type in songs that aren’t in a catalog. During the soft launch we set up your catalog with you, so tell us where your song library comes from in your host-access email.

Straight to you. If you set an entry fee, singers pay it by Venmo, or in cash if you allow it. With tips on, they see a Tip your host card that goes to your Venmo. k5e doesn’t process or verify payments.

A laptop with a modern browser and an internet connection for Cue, and a TV or projector for the room screen. Cue needs the internet for the whole night: a short Wi-Fi drop isn’t a problem, but if the venue’s connection goes down for good, switch the laptop to another one, such as your phone’s hotspot. Singers use their own phones. Cue doesn’t play the music yet, so your karaoke player keeps playing the tracks; k5e Player, coming soon, will play them under Cue’s control.

A k5e Spot account is free for singers. Hosting with k5e Cue is free during the soft launch.

k5e Spot is made for phones: iPhone and iPad in Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox, and Android in Chrome. k5e Cue runs in a modern browser on a laptop or desktop, with the room screen on a TV or projector.
