What You Get
Watch hours of vocal and dance auditions evaluated by industry pros who DON'T hold back. Get honest, unfiltered feedback from judges like Denise Dicharry (choreographer to the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders) and Jack Miele (award-winning music producer and engineer). See what separates finalists from everyone else—and learn exactly what judges look for in the first 10 seconds.
Go inside the rehearsal room where 10 finalists train with celebrity coaches like Michael J. Lewis (award-winning composer/producer) and Donald Jones-Bordenave (director and choreographer). See the breakdowns, the breakthroughs, and the mental preparation that separates confident performers from nervous hopefuls. Because competing is 90% mental and 10% talent—and we show you both.
Watch finalists take the stage at 5 packed, iconic New Orleans live music venues with hundreds of eyes on them and $10,000 on the line. See who OWNS the moment and who cracks under pressure. Who's meant to be on stage? Who needs more work? You'll know—and so will they.
From terrified auditions to standing ovations, see EVERY moment of the transformation. The nerves. The harsh feedback. The mental battles. The moment they step into the spotlight. And finally—who wins the $10,000 prize? By the end, you'll know exactly what it takes to go from bedroom performer to stage champion—and whether YOU have what it takes to WIN.

Why DBK?
"I've been making music in New Orleans for decades with The Molly Ringwalds, and I know how hard it is to get your first real opportunity. Drive-Bye-Karaoke gave these aspiring performers something I wish I'd had early on—real judges, real coaching, and a real stage. Watching them grow from audition to performance was inspiring. They earned every moment."
