About me

Hello,

My name is Jakub Kowalewski, and I am an Audio Visual Technician at
Brick Lane Music Hall. I am currently on a lookout for a new job,
where I could widen my expertise and challenge myself, as well as work
with more contemporary music genres.

For the past 4 years, I have been honing my skills as a music
producer, starting with independent study and then pursuing it on an
academic level.

Since September, I have been working as an AV Technician in Brick Lane
Music Hall, where I am responsible for the sound and lights during the
shows, as well as maintenance of the equipment and troubleshooting.

Being an AV Technician, I was able to learn how to operate and program
the lights for all of the live shows. The theatre I am working at has
more than 50 different fixtures, which I was able to familiarise
myself with. The desk we are using at the moment is ETC Congo Jr.

Previously, I have worked as a Studio Assistant at The Avenues Youth
Project. My duties included preparing the session for the youth club
members, recording and mixing their songs. Moreover, in Senior
Engineer’s absence, I handled the sessions myself. I have been working
with beginners and teaching them music production and different mixing
techniques.

I have advanced knowledge of recording, mixing, mastering, music
production and live sound. My past independent projects include
recording an upcoming indie rock band, composing a movie soundtrack,
and creating an instrumental made solely of white noise and sound
design techniques. I am proficient in using Pro Tools, Logic, FL
Studio, and Cubase. Thanks to the facilities available at my
university, I was able to familiarize myself with sound engineers’
favourite mixing consoles, such as Neve and Solid State Logic, and
many different types of external gear.

Moreover, my interest in popular culture made me keen on video
production and photography. I know how to use Adobe Premiere Pro and
After Effects, as well as Photoshop. Because DSLR cameras are popular
within video production, I was also able to polish my photography
skills.

I believe that a position within your company would enable me to
fulfil my passions in a professional work environment and help me gain
more experience in the music industry. My positive approach and being
a fast-learner makes me a perfect candidate.

Looking forward to hearing back from you soon,

Jakub Kowalewski
