                           License Agreement With MTV
                Singing Machine Will Produce Line of MTV-Branded
                        Karaoke Equipment and Related CDs

         Coconut Creek, Florida, January 5, 2001 -- The Singing Machine Company
(OTC:SING), a leading manufacturer and distributor of electronic karaoke
equipment and related audio software, announced today that it has signed a
multi-year, domestic merchandise license agreement with MTV to create the first
line of MTV Karaoke Machines and compact disks with graphics (CD+G) featuring
music for MTV's core audience.

         "Singing Machine is thrilled to partner with MTV in this exciting new
project. Teaming with a multidimensional youth brand like MTV is a terrific
opportunity for Singing Machine to capture the imagination of music-oriented
consumers and increase awareness of our karaoke hardware and software for home
use. MTV's presence provides an enviable platform for Singing Machine to launch
several very compelling new products in the U.S. marketplace," said John Klecha,
Chief Operating Officer of Singing Machine.

         Heidi Eskenazi, Vice President, Licensing and Merchandising, MTV, said,
"We are very pleased to be working with Singing Machine to give our viewers a
piece of MTV right in their own homes. Our on-air show 'Say What Karaoke'
continues to be a hit with our audience, and we believe that the MTV Karaoke
Machine will be a fun and entertaining product for our viewers."

         Under the agreement, Singing Machine will produce two MTV-branded
products: a large format karaoke machine with a built in, fully functional
television that enables users to view song lyrics; and a smaller karaoke system
that connects to a television. Singing Machine also will produce exclusive CD+Gs
featuring music catering to MTV's core audience that will be distributed with
the MTV-branded karaoke machines.
