About DJ Callum Gracie
DJ Callum Gracie is a Canberra-born DJ and multi-instrumentalist whose shows combine a mixed DJ set with live saxophone and trumpet. He holds a music degree from the Australian National University and has spent more than twenty years performing, and he often steps out from behind the decks to play horn lines among the guests on the dance floor. His sets lean on songs a mixed crowd recognises – pop, rock, house, funk, R&B and 80s throwbacks – and he takes requests both before the event and on the night. For Christmas functions he can work carols and festive classics into the dance music, as much or as little as you like, and he is known for starting a conga line when the room is ready. Callum can also take the microphone as your MC. A teaching qualification and a background in secondary school classrooms mean he is comfortable running formalities, introducing speeches and keeping a schedule on track, which suits wedding receptions where entrances, the cake cutting and the first dance all need cueing. He arrives with his own professional sound system, wireless microphones and dance floor lighting, and works with venue teams on the set-up. He has played to groups as small as twenty and to rooms of several hundred, at weddings, corporate end-of-year parties, community events, hens nights and milestone birthdays around Canberra, including outdoor parties by Lake Burley Griffin.
