I am here for Networking

About Me


I am known by many people but by many different names. I am known as Behave Dave, Disco Dave, Dave the Rave, Davey Ravey Gravy, Balcony Dave, Dead Dave, 'I'm your wife now Dave' and even Screech (that one's down to High School). So even though people get confused with my name, they all know that music is my life. I sleep, eat, drink and breathe music. It's in the veins.
With my passion for music and love for promoting, I have created Funked Up Promotions. We promote Bands, DJs and Models from the Isle of Wight and South Coast. The mission is to give them oppurtunities to access what they really wanna do with their lives. We have Bands from Hip Hop to Metal and from Electronic to Indie. Our DJs cover all styles plus many MCs. Retro, House, Breakbeat, Rock, Cheese, Hip Hop, Metal, Punk, Hardcore, Drum n Bass and we can even supply DJs for weddings and private functions.

The Isle of Wight has a great history of music (If you don't believe me, get a book called Isle of Wight Rock). We have seen the greatest artists perform here over decades and with the 2 new festivals; Isle of Wight Festival and Bestival, it is back again. The local live music scene has always been huge on the island but never been very recognised. Now with great bands like Jackson Analogue and The Bees doing well it will hopefully bring the Isle of Wight music scene into the public eye.
I have access to many talented and entertaining Bands and DJs that cover many different styles of music. So if ya wanna book any, then let me know! Peace out!

My Interests

My main interests in life are music and success. I always work my hardest to achieve what I want. So far it has worked and I don't plan on it stopping.

I grow new interests everyday but I love visiting other parts of the world and experiencing life in a different country. Last year I lived in Marbella in the Costa Del Sol for six months and had the most amount of life experience and fun ever. And if you ask, "So why did you come back if it was so gr8?". It's because I want to keep devoloping my career to comfortably retire early abroad. Hell yays!

Not a big Sports nut! I have given up on supporting England at Football (and I'm not a big Soccer fan anyway). I love Formula One..... Go on Lewis! I like playing Basketball, Golf, Squash and Cycling.

Other interests are getting off my ass and doing anything in the promoting business. If you have a product, I'll sell it. If you don't, I'll give you product!

I'd like to meet:

Looking to meet any new DJs, Bands, Models and Promoters that want to find gigs on the mainland to help expose themselves. Plus I am here to help give any marketing or promoting advice to help lift your act to stardom. Also looking to meet people with venues who want work with or to be inconjuction with.

Music:

Every style of music. Nothing will bore or scare me. I have Mozart, Bezerker, Soundgarden, Jurassic 5, Concord Dawn, Justin Timberlake, Breeze and Styles, Rancid, Queens of The Stone Age, Primus, Beastie Boys, Prodigy, Weird Al, 2 Many DJs, DJ Yoda, The Kinks, 2 Pac, Belle and Sebastian, Cake, Jimi Hendrix, and Dillinger Escape Plan in my CD Collection. I won't be shocked easily. But I love Rock, Funk, Trance, Drum n Bass and Hip Hop the most! Saw Foo Fighters The Prodigy and Coldplay live at the Isle of Wight Festival last year, it was the best thing ever. I'm watching Muse at Wembley Stadium, and that only leaves me to watch Pearl Jam, Green Day and Rage Against The Machine live and I'll die a happy man.

In my position at The Balcony I am lucky enough to meet some fantastic people including N-Trance, Anne Savage, Lisa Pin Up, Judge Jules, Gareth from Pendulum, Timmi Magic, Darren Styles, Hixxy and Dougal.
