Hi, I’m Claire aka DJ FADJ!
Hi, I’m Claire aka DJ FADJ!
I’m a DJ, Entertainment Agent, Coach, Mentor, Mother to 2 daughters & a fur baby “Disco Dougie”....oh and if you haven’t already guessed I’m obsessed with SPARKLE! 🤩
When I was growing up I didn't think I had a single creative bone in my body. I tried every instrument under the sun but none really stuck with me for long.
But I’ve always loved music. Music has been a great source of comfort for me & when I discovered DJing as a creative outlet, it provided even greater comfort and a sense of achievement when I finally nailed that mix!
When I started performing I truly realised how universal music was and how it connected so many people from all walks of life.
Music has no boundaries and DJing allowed me to express my individuality and creativity, and at the same time bring people together - It’s my favourite part about DJing!
I’ve been Djing for over 15 years and have been so lucky enough to travel the world and perform for some pretty huge brands and artists courtesy of my DJ career, including for the likes of Universal Pictures, Mercedes Benz, Katy Perry & Havana Brown
For the past 4 years I’ve been running a DJ agency designed to support and promote female DJs. I’ve loved working with these artists to both develop their talent and grow their business, and it was through this work that I discovered my true passion - supporting and mentoring aspiring females, kids & teens in their journey to become Fun Awesome DJs!
The real kicker came as my own daughters entered tweendom, and I became an ambassador for Telethon Speech and Hearing (a not for profit that aims to help children improve and develop their skills in hearing, speech, language & literacy). I began to truly appreciate just how important music is in the ability to express feelings, build confidence, enhance creativity, create bonds and break down social barriers.
I have been truly inspired by my girls and seeing how intuitive and responsive kids are to music , that I found myself back behind the decks (and the laptop) to create F.A.D.J. Academy’s first Youth DJ Program - Ministry of Fun DJ School! And the rest, as they say, is history.
By the end of this program, your tween/teen will...
- Navigate their way around a DJ Controller & how to set it up with their eyes closed
- Understand the fundamentals of music and how to beatmatch like a pro
- Nail how to seamlessly mix one song into another creating their own unique sound
- Master the one mixing technique I use over and over again as an event DJ to mix different genres together
- Create a killer DJ set like a superstar DJ, record and perform it
- Forge new friendships and connections with like minded kids who have a genuine passion for music
- Perform as a Fun Awesome DJ with a new found confidence & belief in themselves! Seeing your child nail their first mix will not only be a memorable moment for them….but will also be for YOU.
I have always had a huge love of music. It can change any mood in an instant and over the years I've been the 'go-to' playlist gal for many a party, but at 38 years old it had never crossed my mind that I could learn how to DJ!! Until now. I jumped at the chance to do DJ FADJ’s online DJ course and I loved it. Pulling all my years of music together and being able to set the party mood for my sisters 30th was such a massive achievement for me. The course is so well put out, it's easy to learn and I couldn't wait to sit down at my decks to have a play every day. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get a little deeper in their music practice and maybe even set a dance floor or two on fire. Thank you for the fun DJ FADJ!

Music has always been a big part of my life and I love that listening to it can change my mood or transport me to memories of distant travels.
As a complete beginner having not ever even seen a dj controller to being able to mix music and create playlists was mind blowing to me. Claire's course gave me the confidence to put myself out there and taught me in a series of easy to understand steps.
A couple of months ago I knew nothing about mixing music and now I'm playing for others and uploading music online for people all over the world to enjoy. If you love music and being creative, this course is for you, the opportunities are limited only by your own imagination.
MINISTRY OF FUN DJ SCHOOL
The only hybrid online & group coaching program, especially for Tweens & Young Teens, that not only provides a step-by-step guide on the fundamentals of DJing when first starting out, but will help set them up to be the confident & creative Fun Awesome DJ they’ve always wanted to be!
I can highly recommend the DJ Fadj Beginner DJ Course. It had always been a dream of mine to learn how to DJ but I never had the time to learn. I tried countless online resources which only made me more confused and gave up until Claire contacted me and asked me to be part of the first group.
I was pleasantly surprised as to how far I travelled within the time I undertook her course. From not understanding how to navigate myself around the controller I am now able to play, have recorded a mix and in the process of planning my first ever event.
Thank you DJ FADJ you're absolutely amazing!!

I would prefer my child to a 1:1 session, in person
What if my child is outside that recommended age of 10 to 15 years
What equipment do I need to buy them for this course, is it expensive?
My kid doesn't have time to learn a new hobby or musical instrument?
What if the live Zoom Q & A sessions clash with another commitment?
Final words from Claire
Self expression, discipline, creativity, self motivation, connection, community, freedom... There’s no doubt that music and the learning of music is of huge benefit to young people (let’s face it - we all need music in our lives!) but DJING is the ínstrument of choice for young people.
As a mother to 2 tweens I’ve witnessed first hand the power of music and how it can instantly change a tween/teen’s mood…sometimes quicker than words alone (it’s certainly helped diffuse a couple of arguments in our household!).
I designed this step-by-step interactive beginner DJ program especially for tweens, that will be guided by me and my community manager/hype girl extraordinaire Rochelle with a community of fellow Ministry of Fun DJ School students who will be learning with your kid and cheering them on every step of the way.
The fundamentals of music and DJing are the absolute backbone of DJing and to master them is to master being a Fun Awesome VIBING DJ!
I truly believe that through DJing, your tween will be able to not only connect with themselves but also strengthen connections with their family and friends (whether it be in person or virtually). Witnessing your child nail their first mix is not only a memory they will never forget, but one YOU will never forget too.
With Love & Rhapsody,
Claire aka DJ FADJ
