Zack Boutwell - USKA Indiana

Zack shared his excitement for the role:

“Karaoke has been a hobby of mine for as long as I have been able to attend shows. I have competed in many karaoke contests and even won a few. Eventually, I wanted to help provide the fun atmosphere and community support that made me fall in love with karaoke. Since taking on karaoke as a full-time job, I have worked with a number of venues around Indianapolis. I’ve also had the pleasure of running karaoke for many festivals, celebrations, and special events from the Indy Pride Festival and Kammy’s Kause, to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Gala, Indiana Moose Association Conventions, and the Indiana State Museum’s Tay/Gate. I am excited to work with USKA and the IKF to show the incredible talent the Hoosier state has to offer.”

Robin “Sissi” Mercer, President of the USKA, expressed her enthusiasm for Zack’s appointment:

“We are thrilled to welcome Zack as the Indiana State Chapter President. His dedication to the karaoke community and experience hosting high-profile events exemplify the values of USKA. Under his leadership, Indiana is poised for remarkable growth, and we can’t wait to see the talent his team will discover and showcase.”

Zack will be overseeing the development of USKA’s presence in Indiana, including organizing state-level competitions, building local partnerships, and expanding opportunities for singers across the region. His appointment reflects USKA’s commitment to empowering passionate leaders who foster musical excellence and community spirit.
