Introducing DJ NiraSydney based mobile DJ who plays the best in music for your entertainment and serves as a Master of Ceremonies.
Born and bred in Sri Lanka, in a primarily English speaking household, to a mother who was an accomplished violinist, my interest in listening to music was extended to playing the piano, the Electone organ and the Accordion. At a very young age, I enjoyed playing a collection of 33rpm records of great Sri Lankan musicians such as CT Fernando and musicians of the western world such as Jim Reeves, under the watchful eyes of my father. My continued interest in music lead to electronics, spending school holidays building an amplifier and an Audio Mixer by imagining what one would look like! Later on, I started appreciating Sinhala music, keenly following the re-creation of the golden oldies of Sri Lanka - my taste in Sinhala music was influenced and enhanced by my wife! We moved to Sydney with a box full of CDs which grew with every visit to motherland and still keeps growing with periodic visits to CD shops both in Australia and overseas. My music collection originating from the 60s grew rapidly with the exponential and sometimes somewhat destructive growth in online music. Inspired and encouraged by close friends to DJ, my interest in music grew deeper expanding to Hindi and Tamil music. As a professional in Information Technology, together with an acquired knowledge in Audio Engineering and Electronics, I designed and built my own DJ kit on the principles of a “Virtual DJ”. Equipment I use is not what is owned by a common 'DJ' and focuses on quality, reliability and also keeping in mind the need to minimize the impact of equipment failures. I have the digital capacity of carrying 1000s of songs and my collection extends to over 30,000 songs. 95% of the collection is CD quality. My music is authentic and legitimately acquired. I focus on music that we all enjoy and take pride in my ability to select the best. Every track has been listened to many times to ensure quality of music and lyrics. A home studio allows me to edit and tweak tracks as required and have redundancy built to minimise risk of equipment failure. My collection goes back to the 1960s but is always kept upto date with the periodic addition of current hits. The selection of music I play at a function is carefully planned in consultation with the hosts and due consideration to the audience. I play the best of tasteful Sri Lankan Baila, at the same time, very carefully setting the appropriate atmosphere for special occasions. I also play a great selection of Hindi and Tamil music as required by the occasion. My extensive collection and ability to understand the different audiences both young and old, gives me the ability to confidently play for any function from a 12th birthday to a 90th birthday and all the important events in-between. I cater for Dinner Dances, Weddings, Engagement Parties, Birthdays, Anniversary Celebrations, Social Events, School Reunions or even simple Get-togethers . I take a keen interest in seeing that every event is individually catered for and flexible to discuss and plan in detail. I undertake limited travel to bring the best in music to those who enjoy it most! With the introduction of a streaming service in 2021, I now have the ability to stream music at the highest quality to any function where the organisers are able to obtain local suppliers for sound equipment under my guidance. This is especially useful for those who live in remote areas or even want a short segment of Sri lankan music to compliment other entertainment. |
