About DJ Funkiphil

More Than Just Music – Crafting Experiences That Last a Lifetime

Hi, I’m Philippe Léger – though many people know me as DJ Funkiphil. Music has been my lifelong passion, and for over 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of turning moments into memories as a professional DJ. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gala, or an all-night dance party, I’m here to make your event unforgettable.

More About Phil

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Montréal, I grew up with the stimulating culture of food, music, fashion and dance. I quickly developed a flare for creativity and musical variety thanks to my families artistic genes. I played in the school band and took a tap-dance class (but don’t ask me to tap around these days). From the time my grandma taught me to dance the waltz in her kitchen, I have continued to learn a myriad of partnership dances. So far the list includes 33 different styles! Growing up surrounded by both French and English speaking family and friends, I am fluent in both languages. I bring a fusion of cultures & rhythms to every dance floor I meet. I am your go-to maestro for electrifying and unforgettable entertainment.

I attended Trebas Institute in Sound Engineering. Not long after I started school, I met Sheldon from Sheldon Kagan Productions, one of the most reputable entertainment companies in Montreal, and found my place on the other side of the mixing console, with a microphone in my hand. I’ve been doing both ever since. I then took the Telecommunications program at Teccart to finesse my technical skills and broaden my knowledge. I quickly realized that I love being the guy who entertains and helps create those memorable moments in peoples lives.

In 1997 I came to BC for 6 months and have called it home ever since. I bought The Professionals in 1998. I have continued to hone my skills and provide exceptional old-fashioned service to my clients ever since.

Hope to see you on a dance floor near you!

More Than a DJ

Being a DJ isn’t just about playing music – it’s about creating moments that linger long after the event is over. It’s about seeing a packed dance floor, hearing the cheers during a well-timed song drop, and knowing that your celebration was everything you dreamed of.
