Brendon Funnell 

 

I am an outgoing, fun loving, professional mobile deejay and master of ceremonies with a great passion for music, people and performance.

I am an award winning WEDDING DJ (Ceremony and Reception), but pride myself in my ability to make any function a great occasion!  Whether it is a Corporate Function, Private Party, Outdoor Event or Brand Promotion, I have the experience, expertise and the enthusiasm to make your event a resounding success.

With 12 vast years of experience, I am a confident and qualified DJ (disc jockey) and MC (emcee) - with an affinity for public speaking, good at getting crowd participation, and great at providing a well rounded variety of music for ANY function and age group.

My music styles include the whole variety of commercial music from the 60ies right up to the naughties (2000’s and beyond), and then everything in between – including a variety of local music (Afrikaans, African and Bhangra).

I believe in the personal approach and encourage meeting with all my prospective clients before they confirm their booking.  This ensures that all the concerned parties are completely satisfied and the highest expectations are met from start to finish.

I travel all over KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) for any event, big or small - from the North Coast to the South Coast, Durban central, Midlands and the Drakensburg - I have covered many venues and many functions.
