About
IGB-Entertainment is the newest and most innovative form of live entertainment sweeping the southeast region. Specializing in “GFM” (Grown Folks Music,) this unique brand of entertainment covers the eras of seventies, eighties, and early nineties FUNK , R&B, and Contemporary Jazz. Depending on the need, they have also been known to heat up things in the Funk Rock, Contemporary Gospel venues, and even some churches. Founded by Kirby L. Hamilton (aka “Phunkplayah”), IGB brings the heat to the thirty-five plus demographic and because of their marketing strategy and personnel, they are able to provide music and entertainment for any and every age group in attendance.
IGB’s line-up is as follows:
PHUNKPLAYAH : High energy one man show with the sound of a full eight piece band. Full back-up band available if your budget allows.
FUNK – Classic R&B - Contemporary Jazz
The Neo Fusion Band:
Also allows you to have two separate forms of live
entertainment
The Phunk Shakers : Six hot dancing ladies that will heat up any party if your
budget allows
“PHUNKPLAYAH” will bring NON STOP music to your entertainment needs. No breaks, no down time….. unless your event calls for such. Other things that separate IGB from other bands or entertainment groups is that they might even give the audience a chance to win cash and prizes while having the time of their life.
Kirby L. Hamilton has been extremely active in the music industry for over thirty-five years on stage, behind the stage, and even behind a desk and he has not stopped as of yet. He has recorded with such names as “Brick”, known for platinum seventies hits such as “Daze”,”Dusic”, “Ain’t Gone Hurt Nobody” just to name a few. He has also recorded with the master hit maker Dr. Dre’ and performed on Snoop Doggy Dog’s multi-platinum CD “Doggystyle” along with the first two videos “What’s My Name” and “Gin and Juice”. In the early eighties he released his own LP that made it to Billboard’s Pick of The Week along with names such as Chaka Khan and Curtis Mayfield. During the eighties and nineties he produced
various up and coming Black and Latino Hip-Hop artists. Just recently he started on his own NEW FUNK CD….Contemporary Jazz CD….and New Gospel CD which should be released in early April of 2008. He has taken the Roger Troutman sound (talkbox) and kept it alive in his recordings and live shows. He has shared the stage with such groups as The Emotions, Bootsy’s Rubber Band, Frankie Beverly and Maze, The Dramatics, Marvin Gaye, Roger & Zapp, Ice Cube, and One Way.
As an executive in the industry, he has been Entertainment Director and Special Events Coordinator for various Indian Gaming establishments on the west coast from 1990-2003. Some of his events and concerts have been televised nationally. He has booked such acts as Gap Band, Roger & Zapp, Rick James (which was televised on VH-1’s Behind The Music), LeAnn Rimes, Clint Black, Ice Cube, Jefferson Starship, Vanilla Fudge, and many other events that range from comedy to Ultimate Fighting and “Toughman” Contest. He also managed one of Palm Springs, California’s hottest dance clubs…..Club Fantasy.
