MusicVita DJ HIRE; DJ FUNKSY

MusicVita is proud to be the booking agents for talented and upcoming DJ Funksy.

Talent, Hard Work and experience are all words associated with this young entrepreneur who understands the value of a true and meaningful reputation. Funksy is a leading example of the importance of being influential in many areas of the music industry in order to succeed having worked hard in many areas and having acquired so many strings to his bow, which have all really stemmed from his love of music.

He demonstrates an array of skills whether that be at the media forefront on radio, TV, or online, and also in areas that count behind the scenes. His entrepreneurial approach and ability makes him a valuable asset in the music industry, and his ventures demonstrate a challenging, interesting and rewarding journey into the career development and success of a dedicated DJ/Broadcaster and music industry entrepreneur.

As a radio and club Disc Jockey, Funksy is as good as they come, having amazing credentials on the DJ and radio circuit, with great mixing ability and an astute selection pleasing the crowd or listeners in every situation, whilst breaking and pioneering a variety of new music and creating an entertaining atmosphere keeping the listeners entertained. Funksy is the new breed of DJ who can cater for every crowd weather that be on the totally varied DJ platforms of Radio and Club, which are totally independent from each other requiring unique skill sets.

‘My selection and approach is completely different on radio as it is for when I am playing in a club… too many times have I heard a radio DJ who cannot hold it up in a club and vice versa. They are two completely different things and require a different approach’.

Funksy’s knowledge and outlook on music is valued by many. He is a tastemaker for most major record labels and radio pluggers around the UK and worldwide, frequently conducting interviews with major recording acts. These include mainstream acts such as Jennifer Lopez, Akon, Shaggy, and Ja Rule, to those at the top of their respective markets such as supreme house producer/DJ Louie Vega (Masters at work) and the amazing 5 grammy award winning reggae sensation Stephen Marley (Bob Marley’s son), and other Reggae greats Wayne Wonder and I-Wayne. Other memorable special appearances on his shows include Hip-hop’s finest - Lupe Fiasco, Mobb Deep, The Game, Pharoahe Monch, T.I, Saigon and Chamillionaire ... along with the RnB & Soul elite – Jill Scott, Joe, Donell Jones, Jon B, Dwele, Ne-Yo, Pretty Ricky, Megan Rochelle, Amp Fiddler, Anthony David, Eric Roberson, Lloyd and Teedra Moses.

Over the years, DJ Funksy has refined his presenting skills and demonstrates his vast knowledge of music on his shows. The name of the show ‘The Big Hook-Up’ is self explanatory, whereby Funksy ‘hooks-up’ the listener with the greatest artists and their music. This includes exclusives and first time airplays from the likes of Jennifer Lopez (Doin’ it well remix feat. Ludacris) and hip hop duo Mobb Deep (Put’em in their place – UK National premiere play) and Joe’s ‘If I was your man’ released in April 07 but introduced first in October 2006 in the FIRST promo interview in Europe (Video available on Youtube and on Funksy’s myspace page). Other exclusives include 2 unmixed tracks personally hooked-up by crossover reggae artist Shaggy, and one by RnB star Lloyd (Produced by Usher’s younger brother).

Funksy believes that in order to fulfil your potential as a DJ you need to be involved in the music scene from many different angles, and acquire a wide range of skills apart from the technical skills involved with DJ’ing in clubs and on radio. It is the understanding that makes the difference!

Involvement with beats and music came about even before he started DJ’ing. An apt drummer since the age of 15 and being in the thick of music and audiences through various performances meant that the next step of becoming a DJ was inevitable. This way, his appreciation, knowledge and understanding of music could be expressed further.

A good start as a Club DJ came about in 1999 when his RnB/Hip-hop demo was sent to a club co-owned by DJ Spoony (Dreem Teem) at the time. In hand with this, and playing regular nights with Spoony and some of the industry’s most respected DJs, Funksy would also play at exclusive celebrity birthday parties for the likes of Mel B, kele Le Roc and Emma Bunton. Now playing at some of the biggest clubs and resorts around, whilst gaining an ever increasing fan base, Flunky’s early career development demonstrated a start to what is a challenging, interesting and rewarding journey into the career development and success of a dedicated DJ/presenter and music industry entrepreneur.

The Skills and abilities that Funksy has acquired over the years are passed on to others through the award winning DJ and Music College Point Blank, in which Funksy completed teacher training and is now a qualified freelance tutor for various DJ, Radio, and Music Technology workshops.

Funksy operates in the UK London and is available for coroporate, and private gigs.
