Teaming a veteran DJ with a talented collective of Sydney’s
finest musicians and vocalists,
The Groove Academyhave been
one of Australia’s most in-demand acts since forming in 2007.
Whether performing as a DJ/MC duo or an exhilarating eight-piece band,
they’re a regular feature at some of the country’s most exclusive gala
dinners, awards nights, media events and private parties.
Their credibility extends from the corporate world into
clubland, where they held down an 11-month residency atIvy,
Sydney’s premier nightclub. And it now extends beyond Australia to Bali,
with bookings at Karma Kandara’sKarma
Beach Club,
and Seminyak’s famousKu De Ta,
underlining their international appeal.
You and your team are absolutely amazing. The music was
sensational! T
here was absolutely nothing I could have changed to make it any better!”
PA to Managing Director - Amalgamated Holdings Limited
The group is led by musical director,Scott
Pullen, a DJ with over 20 years of experience both in Australia and
overseas who was recently selected by global clubbing brandHed
Kandi, as a resident DJ for their Australian arm. “We cover all styles,”
he says of their approach whether in duo or big band mode, “but we always
focus on rocking the crowd in front of us.”
The group’s crowd-rocking recipe is simple but effective as they deliver a
seamless blend of dance floor anthems and pop hits
both past and present – some sounding like carbon replicas of the originals
and others given a contemporary live re-work.
His band features a roster of some of Australia’s most
accomplished performers, fronted by a revolving cast of fine female
vocalists including festival regular and certified party starterMuma
Megs,Chloe West,Michelle
Martinez(The Voice) andSharon
Muscat. Pullen holds down the groove with support from drummerWarren
Jackson(Dream Delay/Deni
Hines/Jenny Morris),
percussionistAdam Morris,
with a super tight 3 piece horn section made up of Saxter(King Tide)
on sax, trumpeterNick GarbettandJohn
Hibbardon trombone.

mode at theStar Event Centre,
where they’re a preferred supplier for large events, though they’re coveted
across Sydney – and indeed, the rest of Australia.
