SKY WAIKIKI ANNOUNCES
DJ GRAHAM FUNKE FRIDAY, MAY 20, 2016 AT 10PM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HONOLULU, HI (May 4, 2016) – SKY WAIKIKI, Hawaii’s premiere nightlife destination is pleased to announce Los Angeles DJ Du Jour, GRAHAM FUNKE set to pulse Friday night in Waikiki on May 20, 2016. SKY WAIKIKI doors open at 10:00PM with cover charge starting at $10 with Funke’s funk to spin at 11:00PM. VIP Reservations are available through (808) 979-7591 or [email protected]. GRAHAM FUNKE BIO "I let my worldview define the DJing," says disc jockey du jour Graham Funke, "Not my DJing define the worldview." Seasoned in nightlife, well-read and well-rounded, the Los Angeles native has always drawn inspiration from the brightest beacons of other industries, whether it be Mark Twain or Robert Evans or Bob Guiccione, and implemented those influences into what he sees as the basic compounds of DJing: philosophy and science. Craftsmanship and creative programming have kept GRAHAM FUNKE in demand with a vast clientele from Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, directors Bryan Singer and Brett Ratner, recording icons like Christina Aguilera and Sting, box office superstars Will Ferrell and Dustin Hoffman, to the most eccentric personalities like Marilyn Manson and Jenna Jameson. His pressbook includes notice in a wide spectrum of local and national media, and his corporate client list might be torn from a page in Forbes. Taking a cue from the life of thespian Cary Grant, who claimed "I just play myself to perfection," Graham Funke has appeared in a cadre of television commercials, and utilizing the fine education he received at both the University of San Francisco and UCLA,
is a published journalist. But the majority of his time is spent behind turntables, in cities across the US and abroad, though always returning each week to the nightlife mecca of Las Vegas NV, where he holds exclusive residencies at a few of the most prominent clubs in the nation. In order to dispel misconceptions about DJing and insert some fun back into the game, Graham Funke delights in his partnership with the highly-regarded DJ StoneRokk, known together as The Captains of Industry, producing a steady output of music, video, and literary projects to promote the craft they have both spent almost two decades honing.
