@DJShamDeFunk - They Call Me Sham

Sham De Funk, aka Sihaam Cerfonteyn, is an extremely passionate and dedicated DJ from the Friendly City, Port Elizabeth. She has been in the industry since the age of 18, her passion for mixing music starting at a young age, which inspired her to teach herself the art of DJing. At the age of 16, she received her first pair of decks and for two years, the battle of “learning from scratch” began. Sham De Funk tried her luck at many clubs thereafter, battling to break into the “male dominated industry”. She received her first club residency at Dogg Foundation Inc., a night club formally known as La Dee Das. 
In 2010, Sham De Funk entered The Bay FM Splash Festival DJ Search, a competition for young and aspiring DJs, where she made it to 2nd runner up in the finals. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup, she received her second residency at Escobar Night Club where she had the opportunity of spinning the decks for many tourists and locals visiting the Bay. Sham De Funk tried her luck once again in the annual Bay FM Splash Festival DJ Search, where she was crowned the winner of 2011. This is one of her biggest accomplishments in the industry. 
In mid-year of 2011 up until April 2012, she had the opportunity of co-hosting a late night radio show alongside local DJ, Greg O Gee. Every Wednesday evening Sham De Funk was required to mix a live set on air that was broadcasted in and around the Bay area. She entered yet another DJ Competition in September 2012 where she ended up coming in at 2nd place in The Hansa Battle of the DJs. 
In 2012, her DJ role model who is known as the leading Female DJ in South Africa, Lady Lea, invited Sham De Funk to attend national auditions for her Female DJ Agency, Divas on Deck. She was highly impressed with her hip-hop skills at the final auditions and Sham was the only DJ that made it for her unique choice of genre. Her love for Hip-Hop is evident in her sets. 
She describes 2013 being her best year of her career. She bid farewell to her hometown and moved west to Cape Town – A city that’s infamous for its nightlife. She spent 6 months spinning at many of the leading clubs where she earned her recognition with a fan base of 3000 people. Sham entered her very first National Competition, SA DJ Championships, where she made it into the regional finals of the Western Cape. In the final leg of the competition she was awarded a residency at the venue that hosted the prestigious event after the club owner of THE LOOP Night Club, Vaughan Guy Cragg, was highly impressed with her battle performance. 
October 2013 Sham made her second move in her career where she was asked to tour Qatar. She has had the honor of playing at Pearl Lounge where she warmed up the well known event ***JAMROCK*** & Doha’s well known Ladies Night Brand “LIGHTS OUT” for many international acts, as well as many cultural events and boat parties held in The Middle East.  After spending a few months in Doha, Sham was approached by well acclaimed DJ and entrepreneur, Mass Ramli.  Sham then made the move to Dubai to have the opportunity of being one of the main resident DJ’s at EGO URBAN LOUNGE, playing alongside Dany Neville and Rone Jaxx at events such as Smoove Grooves, ***JAMROCK*** & Urban Education.  In September 2014, Sham returned to the U.A.E to partake in the annual Pioneer DJ ME Digital DJ Championships where she secured 2nd place – The first female DJ to ever do so.
