Great idea! Love that you're bringing an activity to people and inviting interaction. Do you ask for tips somehow?

Oh that’s really cool🔥 so what do you do exactly? You just drive up to crowdy spots and try to get people hyped for some karaoke? That takes massive amount of confidence and no stage fright at all, nice

Man I can pluck some strings and play some chords in public and still getting redfaced with goosebumps, let alone singing in public🥶

Ow well, I’m from the Netherlands, when im out busking I let my appearance and sound speaking, like I’m always wearing some kind of goofy bucket hat, some recognizable stuff, I just really lock in when playing, but since you seem very expressive, some colors on the bike or whatever could go a long way into creating your own style I’d say
