We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Gustavo Salles. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Gustavo below.
Alright, Gustavo thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
My journey began thanks to the tremendous success of television talent shows like “American Idol” and “America’s Got Talent,” which led many companies to seek me out for an interactive musical act for their corporate events. Then, I had the idea to create a karaoke with a live band.
Gustavo, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I am Gustavo Salles, a 40-year-old entrepreneur dedicated to live entertainment for corporate events for the past two decades.
With my experience in the entertainment industry, I had the ability to select the most talented musicians and develop the concept of a show. In 2007, I launched the Live Karaoke® band and began presenting this innovative idea to my clients. During the last 15 years, Live Karaoke® has delivered thousands of performances at corporate events, assisting a wide range of companies in boosting employee motivation and engaging consumers in brand activations.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Live Karaoke® is widely recognized for its success at corporate events and for delivering on the promises we make to our clients. We achieved a 5.0 rating on Google Reviews, and all of our reviews are 100% positive. Our band is composed of highly talented and charismatic musicians, known for their contagious energy and interactivity. We invite guests to take the stage and sing like true rock stars. We utilize innovative technologies, such as an app for song selection, synchronized lyrics, and lots of gamification, to provide a unique experience to the audience. This helps companies promote motivation, engagement, and strengthen the sense of belonging among employees.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Working with live entertainment for corporate events is challenging, but the challenges along the way have driven me to become more resilient and creative. A notable example of resilience and creativity was during the pandemic when it wasn’t possible to hold in-person events. We adapted the live band’s performance into a completely online experience, allowing guests to participate from their homes using their smartphones to sing along with the band performing live in a broadcast studio. This innovation resulted in two years of show broadcasts for hundreds of companies in different countries and languages.
