Da'Veonce & DaFunk Gang is a formidable and dynamic energy-driven 6-piece modern cover and original funk band originating from the vibrant and culturally rich city of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
In 2023, Dee formed DaFunk Gang, drawing inspiration from a popular Wednesday night funk residency known as “Funk Night,” which was proudly hosted by Da’Veonce. Their electrifying live performances captivate audiences with an eclectic and carefully curated set list that seamlessly blends classic funk grooves with contemporary hip hop influences.
The band’s unique sound is shaped by the powerful legacy of artists such as Outkast, Ghost Note, Buddy Miles, Prince, Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, Sly & The Family Stone, and many other legendary figures in the funk genre.
With their explosive energy, tight-knit musicianship, and passionate stage presence, this talented group is on a dedicated mission to bring a fresh and exciting style of funk and hip-hop vibes to live music venues not only throughout West Michigan but beyond, captivating fans wherever they perform.

TESTIMONIAL
We had an absolute blast hosting DaFunk Gang for our 20th Anniversary Party Celebration, and can't wait to get them into a regular rotation through our music lineup! Not only is this group super talented and a ton of fun, but they're just lovely, awesome humans and a pleasure to work with. They bring DaFunk and DaFun! I can't remember a time when we had a group completely captivate an audience where every single person on the stage and on the floor and in the room was engaged and grinning ear to ear. The energy is awesome and the music - Top Notch! I love these guys and can't wait to have them back! They bring the experience to an event that people will remember forever. Book Them Now!
