FUNSTA MC BIOGRAPHY
M.C. Fun da Funsta has been rapping since he was 7 and writing lyrics since 1994. He is a new breed of MC possessing the mic. skills both to chat fast and spit more conscious-led lyrics. Fusing his talent and experience with a love of both Drum n Bass and Hip Hop, MC Fun has developed a style which is always mesmerising, sometimes thought-provoking and uniquely his own.
Fun entered the scene from a Hip Hop background but quickly established himself within the underground D&B circuit. By the mid to late 1990s he was playing on radio stations such as Kik F.M., Ruud and Rude Awakening and at raves like Desire, Heat, Pure Science and High Velocity. In 1998 he was asked to join the Kool F.M. crew, and has been performing on the station Drum n Bass most popular ever since. Fun is also a regular on internet radio, including most currently Pyrotechnics, D&B Worldwide, Syndicate and U.K. Rumble. This radio exposure along with regular appearances at T.O.V, Movement, Legends of the Dark Black, Innovation, Chatterbox, Fever and One Nation to name but a few, have led Fun to become one of the most established and respected players in the underground D&B scene.
Fun however has also made it mainstream performing at some of the U.K.s biggest festivals. Since 2000 he has played Glastonbury, Homelands, Nedworth and Essentials. He also reaches beyond the U.K. scene by gigging globally. His work has taken him all over the world; to Greece with Kool F.M.; Brazil with Urban Takeover; France for N.Y.E.; America, Germany and most recently Spain and Portugal alongside D.J,s Mickey Finn and Andy C respectively. In fact, Fun has worked with a myriad of different D.J,s within D&B and is as happy M.Cing to a crowd of 200 or 20,000 people.
MC Fun now has residencies with a number of clicks. He is a regular at MOVEMENT,TRUPLAYAZ and FEVER and performs on a monthly basis for UNITY in Luton. He is part of the governments Dont Shoot campaign touring schools promoting anti-gun violence, and as a leading member of the Uncontrolabelz he rhymes alongside fellow lyricists and has even started building his own beats.
Fun has a strong and talented presence within the scene. Not only can he rinse it out high-energy style at a rave, he can also captivate the audience with his deeply-inspirational words of wisdom, on the underground, mainstream and global circuits. His appeal lies in this versatility, this fresh and often challenging perspective and, as his name suggests, his commitment to getting down and having Fun. He is a master of ceremonies; of creativity; of consciousness but, above all, entertainment.
