Connect with Elegant Experience < Back Vikash Mathura Gauteng Vikash Mathura (48) is one of the most recognizable and respected personalities in the South African entertainment industry. Academically, he is armed with two Masters’ Degrees (in Business Administration and Marketing). He spent 27 years in the Corporate Sector, working in Executive Leadership roles for various local and global multinational corporations. But while he has a talent for the sciences, he also has a passion for the arts. In 1991, Vikash was spotted whilst modeling for various fashion brands in Durban. After beating out more than 5000 applicants, he became the first South African Indian anchor presenter on SABC Television’s “Impressions” magazine show. A year later, he was asked to audition for a vacant presenter’s role on Lotus FM Radio. He had never harbored any ambitions to work on Radio or Television, but his entry into the radio industry sparked a love affair that would last for 22 years. From 1992 to 2014, Vikash was ranked as the station’s number one presenter, having consistently hosted its highest-rated shows. During this time, he began experimenting with voices and mimicry, a talent that he would introduce on his radio shows in the guise of various characters that he would create. In 1997, Vikash co-created the “Peru & BalaTM” brand. To date, this trademarked and copyrighted brand remains the most successful comedy creation in the history of the South African Indian entertainment scene. Vikash also expanded his portfolio into theatre. He has appeared as the lead actor in more than 850 theatrical productions, many of which were in sold-out tours. He continues to write; produce; direct and star in productions, often playing various comedic characters that his followers have become fans of. In 2013, Vikash made his television acting debut when he played a cameo role on Isidingo (SABC). In 2019, he was cast in an international television episode of “Banged Up Abroad”. In the same year, he made his feature film debut in the comedy “Peru & Bala: The Movie”, which is currently in production and slated for cinematic release later in 2020. He is also preparing for his second feature film lead role which will be filmed in South Africa and Mauritius later this year. Vikash has never studied acting; theatre; or drama. He is a science and business graduate who took his passion for the arts to another level. He is known for his distinctive baritone voice, and for his talent as an actor who slips in and out of various characters with ease. Vikash has been married to JJ Mathura (another famous South African entertainment personality) for 27 years, and the celebrity couple have two children, Shabadh (24) and Simran (22).

Award Dinners // Birthdays // Corporate Events // Family Days // Ladies Days // Launches // Private Parties // storyteller // Year End Functions < Back Rob Caskie ARTIST ENQUIRY I am interested in booking First Name Email Phone Submit Select a date Last Name Company Event details Kwazulu Natal I am frequently questioned about the "WHO, WHAT, WHEN, and WHY" of what I do, therefore I have written these words to assist you in considering adding me in your next event or conference. What is my background, and what are my areas of expertise? I began a professional speaking career 20 years ago after enthralling audiences with my adventures on motorbike tours in southern Africa while at university. I have successfully told the stories of South African history, the battles of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift, as well as early Antarctic and Arctic exploration, to thousands of people all over the world. As a skilled storyteller, I specialise in narrating stories about people in difficult situations. Extensive trips around the world sparked my interest in people and their histories.A keen interest in photography helps me to create visual images using the power of the spoken word. In addition to my speaking profession, I lead monthly battlefield visits in KwaZulu Natal. What are the topics of my presentations? Stories about people in desperate situations. My speeches reverberate in the minds of the audience and provoke contemplation about the lessons to be gained from the past. I specialise in conveying strong stories and entertaining audiences in their own minds' theatre, without the need of PowerPoint. "Rob does not trip the lights." When should you call on me? In every situation where something unique, captivating, thought-provoking, and memorable is needed. My stories, which may include your subject into their content, are an excellent way to begin or end your event. They are completely suited for all audiences since they are multi-cultural - they are essentially human stories. Why? We have grown up with stories as humans, but with today's entertainment possibilities, this ancient skill is being forgotten. Audiences enjoy being swept up in a wonderful story and captivated in mental theatre. Today, storytelling may appear to be an antiquated tool - and it is. That is precisely what makes it so effective. Life happens in the stories we tell each other. A tale may go where quantitative analysis cannot: our hearts. Data can persuade people, but it cannot inspire them to act; to do so, you must encase your idea in a story that captures the imagination and stirs the soul. Start with a story of human struggle and final triumph if you want to motivate, persuade, or be remembered. It will win people's hearts by first capturing their brains. Allow me, with my stick and signature shorts, to energise your audience with a well-told human story.

Connect with Elegant Experience < Back Jade Hubner Western Cape TV presenter, model, actress, MC, entrepreneur, singer, adrenalin junkie, and part-time Bcom student, Jade Hübner is proving to be a multi-talented woman with a dream of taking over the entertainment industry in a big way. Having started her working career at the tender age of 15 as a model, maths tutor and waitress, Jade knew that only hard work and sheer determination would ultimately help her reach her dreams. In 2015 she competed in Presenter Search on 3: South Africa’s biggest televised reality presenter search. Putting her philosophy of hard work and determination to the test, Jade went from strength to strength during the competition and ultimately won a place as a presenter on South Africa’s longest running and most prestiges lifestyle television programme Top Billing on SABC 3. There is, however, a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to Jade Hübner. When she isn’t interviewing local and international celebrities, hosting events as an MC, modelling, acting, studying or experiencing a new adrenalin-packed sport, she’s competing in marathons and triathlons. In short, and whenever possible, Jade is doing something adventurous and out of the box. “I love challenging myself; I watch, I observe and I do. I get a rush out of doing things!” adds Jade. When not hard at work or play, the Cape Town-based beauty dedicates her time to humanitarian work and actively participates in and volunteers for a range of charities and NGO’s such as the Peninsula School Feeding Association, the Reach for a Dream Foundation and the Save the Rhino campaign. Jade has also participated in Pride Factor youth workshops as a motivational speaker. In October 2016, she participated in the SPCA’s #CelebritiesGoWildForWildlife campaign during which the public was encouraged to donate to the organisation and dare her and music duo Locnville to complete one crazy dare. The final dare was a paraglide over the Atlantic Seaboard in Cape Town…and Jade relished every minute of it!” ARTIST ENQUIRY I am interested in Select a date First Name Email Phone Submit Last Name Company Event deails
