My Story and Mission
Where It Started
Starting this site was, and will always be, about simplifying the DJ/KJ song lists and request process for the guests attending our shows. We have all been there, lugging around our song books and request slips. Picking them up at the end of the night drenched in booze and God knows what else. The sticky covers and torn backings, washing and cleaning them every night.
Why It Matters
The cost of doing business for a DJ/KJ can get very expensive, and shows and venues are paying less and less. The cost of photocopies, laminations and bindings alone adds up, not counting our equipment. The goal is to offer a great service for minimal cost to my fellow entertainers.
What SongSlipDB Does Today
For Your Guests
- No more paper: guests scan your QR code, or pick your show from the list of nearby shows, in the free SongSlipDB app (Android now, iPhone coming soon) or on the web.
- They browse your whole song book by song or artist, search it, save favourites, and send requests right from their seat.
- They can flag a song with a problem, so you can fix it before it's sung again.
- No account or sign-up needed for guests.
For KJs and DJs
- A live request queue on the web portal, and soon in the DJ Companion app for phone and tablet.
- Start and stop your show, and set your Show Location so guests at your venue can find you.
- Upload and edit your song book, and see reported song problems in one place.
- Works hand in hand with KaraokeMax Pro, with one account for the website, the apps and the player.
Built to Be Dependable
- Runs on its own servers in Canada, with a backup server ready to take over, and nightly backups.
- Encrypted connections, encrypted passwords, and no tracking or third-party ad networks.
- A 30-day free trial, then one simple monthly subscription you can cancel any time.
Who's Behind It
Being a DJ/KJ for over 40 years, I've seen and pretty much done it all. With a technical degree and an understanding of code, I figured I'd give it a shot. The result of my efforts is what you see before you. I look forward to providing DJs and KJs with this service.
For the love of the SHOW!
Best Regards,
Cliff
