Matthew Barnard AKA “Matt the DJ” 17 years in the wedding, music and entertainment industry.

Durban, Cape Town, Malaysia & Dubai.

It started at a very early age for me carrying my dad’s records to his gigs and watching him DJ.

After working some of the top bars, clubs local and abroad ventured into more corporate events and started specializing in Weddings.

With a deep passion for music and quality service and a love for every genre from every era, the versatility of playing modern hits to old school
classics. Diversity is definitely my strength, reading the crowd to choose the perfect song to fit.

Living in Durban now I’ve built up a reputation of being able to accommodate multicultural events of all ethnicities, Indian weddings, traditional Zulu and Afrikaans.

Keeping the dance floor packed from young to old till the end of the night.  Myself and my team have residencies across KZN servicing top restaurants, hotel chains and
corporates.
