Fun DMC Star Search

Currently Seeking
Fun DMC is currently seeking a highly-energetic and dynamic performer to join our on-stage lineup. This is a deliberately, loosely-defined role as we fully understand that it would be impossible to find an exact replacement for our extraordinary, current member/singer, Albert Capati. <3 We so value everything he has brought to Fun DMC and cannot imagine any individual merely filling his position.
As we move forward as a band and company, we look forward to expanding our horizons and dedicating ourselves to continually providing exceptional entertainment services. In doing so, we are looking for someone who will be able to bring their unique talent and perspective to our group; thus, this role could include individuals who are vocalists, instrumentalists, or both.
Application
By December 15th, send us an email with a little information about yourself. What’s your musical background? Why are you interested in joining Fun DMC. Also, submit a video to Fun DMC of a song you feel represents yourself as a performer. Please send a youtube link to info@fundmc.net
In December and January, Fun DMC will be hosting auditions. Auditions will including an interview and performance of at least one song currently performed by Fun DMC and one song that best represents the applicant.
