bathroom singers

Tub-time crooners

Bathroom singers are people who sing enthusiastically but unskillfully, typically when alone in the shower or bath.

The bathroom's acoustics and privacy encourage singing that wouldn't happen in public.

The term is mildly self-deprecating: I'm no professional—just a bathroom singer.

Common in Indian English.
