ABOUT US

DJ Christo

I started playing music and took guitar lessons at the very young age of 14 in 1988. I got my first Electric Guitar, a Fender Stratocaster  on my 16th birthday. By that time I joined a band called “ELSABATH” and played Country Music for the next 3 years until 1991. In this band I Played Guitar, Bass Guitar , Drums and Banjo depending on what song we played. We played various towns and had great success in those days.

After that I've played in a “Cover Band” “Sunset Revival” with Shane Hartnick in Pubs and Clubs up until 1994 and this is where my love for a variety of music really started. In 1995 at the age of 20 I was invited by a female friend to help out at a Promotion she asked me to perform a few songs while she works over the clients. The reaction was so huge that the owner of the local hotel hired me on the spot to play at the hotel lounge the next Saturday unfortunately this was only a once off gig as I was only visiting my parents.

By now the Music bug bit and he bit hard. I there and then decided to form my own One Man Band and buy my own equipment. So I started saving hard earned money and by 1996 I Bought my first sound rig, mixer, speakers, lights everything. This was one of the proudest moments in my life so far !!!. Then the jamming started much to the annoyance of my neighbors.

By April 1997 I got my first solo gig and started doing the Pub Scene in Pretoria. I played in pubs like Sharon’s Pub, Ajays Pub, Big Five Pub, Barrel And Grill, Sages, Die Grasdak, Oaklahomen Pub and The Bundu Inn.

The longest run was at Sharon’s Pub where I performed and DJ ‘ed for 3 years, Every Friday and Saturday. This pub was a new venture and I helped building a very big client base. About 400 people came to see me perform every weekend. This was the best time of my life.

During my time as Pub Singer I was approached by various brides to be, to play at their weddings. And I also got a lot of requests to do birthday parties and other types of functions. And soon the focus started shifting from band to DJ. By the end of 1997 I started taking gigs as a full time Mobile DJ or Mobile Disco as we called it in those days.

My first Gig was the best gig ever, it was at the SAPS lapa in Pretoria North and the guests were so full of life they literally stood waiting on the dance floor for the next song to start. I couldn’t ask for a better first gig it was like a dream come true.

During this time I played a lot of weddings and birthday parties and even went back to the pubs from time to time.
