Who is DJ LiL Funk?y

The Story

Tell me all about him

Where does the name LiL Funky originate from? Well, let’s backspin the record for a second here. The name LiL Funky comes from his father Joe, a legendary disc jockey who began his DJ career in the late seventies, was branded as Funky Joe; back when funk music was at the height of the music scene. It wasn’t difficult for Joe Jr. to acquire the name LiL Funky from his friends, knowing the history of his father in the entertainment business.

LiL Funky was born in Toronto, Ontario and raised in a DJ environment. He commenced his DJ career at an early age. His perpetual interest in the art of the DJ inspired him to attain to a greater knowledge. Completely obsessed with the art of mixing LiL Funky would observe his father playing, listen to mix tapes and live radio mix shows. On his 12th birthday he received his first pair of Technics 1200 turntables and since then has taken a keen interest on becoming an unprecedented entertainer.

He spends countless hours digging through his old man’s record crates, shopping for rare records, downloading exclusive remixes and digitally editing his own mixes. Throughout the years LiL Funky has integrated all genres of music into his performances.

LiL Funky received his first on-air radio show with DJ Joey D live on Power 88.5 FM in 1999. The show was a three-hour non-stop mix program called Club 885. He later connected with Toronto’s top-40 radio station Z103.5 FM as a DJ / Producer in 2001. His weekly radio mix show (The Midday Mix-down) and various night club live to air gigs allowed his distinguished sound to reach a wide audience.

Since then this Toronto based talent has played in venues across Canada and has recently expanded into Mexico and the United States; with performances in Acapulco, Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Buffalo and Miami with many more cities to follow. You can find him getting funky throughout North America in various night clubs, beach parties, upscale weddings & private functions.

Marco & Anna Corrente

We would like to Thank You for the first class service you provided on our wedding night. Being in the DJ business myself for many years, I had high expectations and you surpassed them all. The first thing people ask us when they talk about our wedding is "Who was the DJ?" The setup created the perfect atmosphere and it was everything that we expected and more. Your attention to detail, the variety of music and of course the crazy mash-up mixes were second to none.

Hey Joe, or should I say LiL Funky? We’ve known each other for a long time through my cousin Tony Monaco and all I can say is buddy, you killed it on the decks at my wedding! Thank you for everything you have done for us in making our wedding one that we will remember forever. Also thanks for ending the night with my last minute request “Skrillex - Cinema”. It was the perfect way to close out the night, thank you again.
Joe & Lisa Stimac

Joe after seeing you at Jimmy and Patricia’s wedding, we knew that we were in good hands for our special day. You rock the house at their wedding and you did the same at ours.

DJ LiL Funky Joe! Thank you so much for taking the time to customize our surprise first dance medley, it was one of the highlights of the night.

Thanks again for everything.

Billy & Lorianna Vieira

DJ LiL Funky, where do I begin to thank you for all that you have done for Billy and I throughout the planning of our wedding. You were helpful right from the start and went over and above what you were required to do. The music and entertainment at our wedding was better than a night club, people were dancing on the dancefloor, at the bar and on the tables (my uncle Sal). Thanks for providing us we memories that will last a lifetime. Best DJ Ever!!
John Paul & Chantelle De Novellis

You know you’ve hired the right DJ when the banquet hall wants to shut the party down at 1:00AM but the DJ insists on playing until the party dies down. Thanks for keeping the party rocking, you are the best and have made our weddings one of the best weddings our guests have ever attended.
Luca & Michelle Corrente

Joe, you did it again man! We had a great time at my brother’s wedding a few years ago and a killer time at my wedding too. Thanks for everything you did for us leading up to the wedding and making it special for our family and friends.
Nick & Vanessa Luisi

Joe, after seeing you DJ at the Versace Mansion in Miami, we knew we wanted you to DJ our wedding too. We didn’t want a traditional wedding and were looking to do things differently. Having you DJ in the lobby while our guests went through the receiving line, was one of the best ideas because it let everyone know from the start that they were in for a good time. You made our wedding exactly what we wanted and we felt like we were at BPM in playa all night! I still can’t believe you played my favorite song “work this *****!”
Geno & Melissa Satino

So can I say that I got funky on my wedding now? You and your MC were phenomenal at entertaining our guests and bringing the party to life. We danced all night and had a great time! I knew I was in good hands because I hired the best trio in the wedding industry you as our DJ, Julian as our Photographer and Vince and our Cinematographer.
Mike & Vanessa Pimentel
