What type of music?
1. A combination of Funky Glitchy Goodness with soul 🙂
When did you first start?
2. Pretty New to the scene Started DJing the winter of 2013
Started my own production the Winter Of 2014
Why did you decide to start it?
3. Too Be honest the beginning of Funk-A started after a interesting Mad Decent Block Party 2013
After Major Lazor (A Big Name in the EDM Scene) consistently picked up the microphone to holler at the crowed every 30 seconds without letting the beat play out. Also Bringing out Young girls on stage to “Twerk” and act a fool of themselves.
To say the least I was VERY unimpressed!.. And Funk-A was born!!
Are you a solo Artist or part of group?
4. Solo Artist at the moment. Trying to Find my unique sound, but do work with other musicians for my production.
Whether it being my good friend “Saucy Jackson” or “Hearing Colors” on guitar or working with friends currently in bands with excellent instrumentation
What name do you go by?
5. My stage name is Funk-A (Fuh-nk -Ay)
How did you come up with the name?
6. I have always Loved the Roots of Funk Music, The Grooves and feel it gave me! Knowing what kind of music i wanted to DJ when i first started i knew it was going to surround the genre. With Help From my Good Friend Andy Grimes we brainstormed at work and I decided it would fit well with saying “Are you ready to get Funk ay!!” live. And it stuck!
Who do you like to collaborate with?
7. OH MAN, Haven’t got to do as many as I would like too, But my Good friend Vyntage, is a super talented Musician/Producer with similar taste, Always a pleasure Working with this katt.
