Meet Stu
Good music has been a staple in my life for as long as I can remember; my heart beats along to the music.
After 4+ years traveling the world with a guitar in hand, and after 8+ years in a corporate, (mostly) desk-bound career I decided to take a chance, follow my dreams and make a living out of music. I also started a yoga studio in Hobsonville, called Kanuka Yoga Space.
From playing live music in bars, restaurants, birthday parties, Christmas celebrations, weddings, farmers markets, busking on Auckland's Queen Street, all the way to North Island tours playing original music, NZ On Air music videos, sponsorship contracts and Spotify singles, I am motivated to up my game on every occasion.
At present, you'll find me:
-
Gigging weekly at iconic Auckland venues, private events and weddings
-
Creating a super exciting live DJ act with my good friend Ant Tarrant; producing our own music, spinning them on the latest Pioneer DJ controllers and jamming our live guitars, keyboards and vocals over the top
-
Producing new music with Ableton
-
Teaching and practicing yoga, along with managing the studio, our yoga retreats and events
I'm proud of my musical talent, of my ability to create positive relationships and networks, and confident I can nail the live music and/or DJ sounds at your next event.
My sound equipment and lighting is of the highest standards; QSC K10.2 PA speakers, Martin acoustic guitar, Boss looping station, Pioneer RX2 DJ Controller and a Yamaha 12 Channel Mixer.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Andy Prentice
Live Acoustic Covers & Loop Show
Stu was great to deal with and on short notice he provided great entertainment, a professional set up and a willingness to go the extra mile. He did requests and had no issues reading the room and adjusting songs and levels for our Xmas party.
I would happily recommend Stu and use him again for future events.

Kiran Patel
DJ Set for Public Event
Stu is the type of DJ you can rely on for consistent good vibes. Whether the crowd is up for a boogie, or a chill parooz through your event, Stu created an atmosphere they didn't know they could love so much. It meant our event was more than seamless, it was epic.
I highly recommend Stu for any event you're running, an absolute breeze to work with, and brought so much joy to our attendees.
