Talent Short Bio

Barcode is a group of dynamic young professional musicians who have joined forces to celebrate their South African heritage though their music, crossing and covering a diverse blend of South African favourites.

Their visually striking image embodies style and elegance and plays on the strong contrasts within the band and their easily recognisable repertoire and upbeat performance adds South African flair and flavour to any party or event.

The group consists of Vocalist Lindiwe Maxolo, electric violinists Balekane and Olivia, and producer / keys / viola / DJ Brendan Jury, all of whom have cast experience in the corporate entertainment worked.

They all come from different backgrounds, both musically and culturally and are having fun exploring and paying a wide variety of music together.

Musically they have taken popular songs from the past few decades and blended them into a set of music guaranteed to entertain a diverse audience with upbeat tracks from Mafikizolo, Brenda Fassie, Miriam Makeba and Lebo Mathosa.

The music of Barcode – Conference Corporate Band combines African sounds with catchy melodic and percussive loops, deep basslines and catchy rhythms and harmonies blended together with beautiful string lines, keys and sultry vocals.

This is truly a special collaboration in proudly South African style.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Virtual speaking appearances can indeed offer cost savings compared to in-person events. Virtual speaking rates are often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates due to factors such as reduced travel expenses and logistics. This makes virtual events a cost-effective alternative for organizations looking to book speakers within a budget.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
