Talent Short Bio

Delivery Boys was founded in 2012 by Ferdy Ferd, a SAMA award nominated, Nigerian Sound City Music Award nominated and 2010 Channel O Music Video Award winning artist for Most Gifted RnB as the lead vocalist and songwriter for urban pop band, Urban Reign.

Seeing a gap in the market, and finding the need to revive the Motown sound of the 60’s, Ferdy Ferd plucked the very best RnB and Motown singers in SA to form the group The Delivery Boys.

The collective includes singer, producer and guitarist Kenton Smoke; actor, singer and pianist Clint Brink; and producer and performer Tebza Moloto.

With extensive experience in the entertainment industry as session musicians, recording artists, live performers, producers and songwriters The Delivery Boys, strive to “Deliver” a wide variety of musical products, guaranteeing an old school experience with today’s talent.

As performing artists, The Boys’ frontline experience collectively spans well beyond the 29 years of the eldest member’s lifetime.

Delivery Boys hyper-energetic live showcases, outrageous, yet undeniably entertaining, stage personas and effortless air of sophistication, are due to their backgrounds in musical theatre, acting for stage and television, and their global travels, performing in countries such as Dubai, Spain, Morocco, Israel and The Seychelles for several months at a time.

The Delivery Boys also boast a backline of the most highly-educated, esteemed and talented musicians that South Africa has to offer.

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.
