Owner of Durban DJ'sA sound, lighting and DJ outsourcing company based in Durban. Over the past 9 years Blair saw a gap in the Durban Market to supply experienced Dj’s and high-end sound, and lighting to clients for small to medium companies as well as individuals in all sectors. Its foundation was built on a fair price with exceptional value and expertise.
Durban Dj’s turned a few heads including that of G & G Productions and was in turn hired to handle all technical productions to the highest of standards. 5fm were also impressed as Blair had played alongside many of the 5fm jocks. He later went on to run the 5fm Luv Sucks 2010 Valentine's Party in Johannesburg whereby he handled the entire production from setup to breakdown.
In 2010 Durban Dj’s took Silver in the Professional DJ Category. Sabia is the South African Bridal Industry of Excellence Award. Having been nominated for the award is a privilege in its own right as this means that a 90% + score was achieved and is voted for by clients who have used Durban Dj's and Blair as their DJ for their special day.
Brendan Keen, an experienced wedding and party Dj joined Durban Dj's full-time to compliment our dj's and administrative side of the business. Brendan's attention to detail and ethics in dealing with prospective clients has proved invaluable to the group. Brendan is not only an excellent dj, but he is also our Bookings Manager dealing with client requests and bookings, allowing Blair to spend more time on ensuring gear is in tip-top shape and building technical requirments for all bookings which Durban Dj's are contracted to.
