Dalis started entertaining in bands at the age of 17. Being accustomed to live performing she enjoyed running a singing telegram company in the early 1980’s while putting herself through college. In 1985 she decided to become a DJ and formed Funnsongs while continuing to write music & get her singing career off the ground. In 1987 she scored some success with her “house” hit, “Rock Steady” and briefly toured the east coast. After the excitement slowed down she settled into the DJ business but it was not until her friend’s wedding that she began to include live entertainment as a regular offering for her customers. Now customers can request Dalis to sing jazz for their cocktail hour or dinner. They know there is nothing more elegant than a live performer who sounds like the record. Dalis still works with a live band to keep herself in touch with live music. With years of experience, she knows how to “get the party started” and sing up a storm!

Nelson has been a rock ‘n roll performer for as long as he can remember. He began by learning to play drums at a young age but eventually his vocal talent got him out in front of the mic. He has been in many bands and has had several CDs released including Funnsongs “The Ultimate Happy Birthday CD” and Burning Heart “River Of Delights”. When he met Dalis it took her a while, but she finally convinced him being a DJ could also include performing music- especially if it was done well. Customers are now requesting Nelson over and over again for his charisma and talent. He has an ability to be funny and get people up that is engaging. A more entertaining performer is hard to find in this business. When you have Nelson entertain you, you always have the time of your life!
