NEW YORK, Mar. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Singtrix, the maker of the award-winning karaoke machine with the same moniker from the creators of GUITAR HERO®, recently launched a new Indiegogo campaign, in an effort to regain what was lost after a manufacturing facility fire forced the brand to cease production. After selling out of all inventory last year, fans have been anxiously awaiting the return of the industry's most advanced karaoke system. This was evidenced by the overwhelming support that the campaign received at launch – securing the position of number one trending campaign on crowdfunding site, Indiegogo, and quickly surpassing fundraising goals by six figures.
Founded by childhood friends, John Devecka, Eric Berkowitz, and Al Roque, Singtrix is the latest creation from the New Jersey rockers, who grew up with an affinity and appreciation for music. A dream of bringing music to the masses materialized in 1997 with the invention of music-based video games, including MTV DRUMSCAPE® – a drumming karaoke video game that brought real electronic drums to arcades all over the U.S. The team later sold those patents to Activision for their GUITAR HERO®.
Nearly 10 years later, Singtrix, the first smart karaoke system with over 300 studio-quality vocal effects, was released. An appearance on ABC's Shark Tank, a slew of A-List celebrity fans – Whoopi Goldberg, Ellen DeGeneres, Kelly Osbourne, Jenny McCarthy, Tamera Mowry-Housley, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian – and features on hit TV shows, propelled Singtrix into the position of industry leader before momentum was thwarted when a fire devastated their production facility, leaving the company with a significant financial burden and no Singtrix Party Bundle units to ease it.
With a new high-capacity production facility now secured, these childhood friends are seeking to rebuild their business and most importantly, deliver an exceptional music experience at a great value for their customers.
"Our priority has always been music and giving back, which is why this Indiegogo campaign means so much to our team," said Eric Berkowitz, Vice President and Co-Founder, Singtrix. "We develop technologies that allow people to connect with music, feel uninhibited, and free to creatively express themselves; and that is what we look forward to doing once again with the relaunch of Singtrix," added John Devecka, CEO, Singtrix.
The Singtrix Indiegogo campaign not only enables the brand to supply their loyal fans with the one-of-a-kind karaoke machine that was previously being sold for upwards of $1,000 by third-party resellers during Singtrix's production hiatus, but offers an upgraded version of the coveted karaoke system – the Singtrix Party Bundle Stadium Edition.
To kick off its release, Singtrix is offering an unprecedented discount on the Party Bundle Stadium Edition for a limited time only on Indiegogo, featuring 1 Stadium Studio Controller with Updated Effects, 2 Microphones, 1 40-Watt Stereo Speaker with Subwoofer, 1 Full-Sized Mic Stand with Holder, 1 Cable Package, and 1 Set of Faceplate Colors.
Singtrix will also be partnering with the VH1 Save The Music Foundation, furthering the brand's primary initiative of giving back. Singtrix has committed to donating $5 from every sale to the foundation in support of their mission to help kids, schools and communities realize their full potential through the power of making music.
