Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

If you’re someone who blows off steam with karaoke, you’re probably also attending Christmas events and year-end parties.

This article rounds up songs perfect for 30-somethings to sing at karaoke during Christmas.

We focus on the latest hits while also introducing timeless classics later on, so you’ll be covered for karaoke with a wide range of age groups.
