Additional information:
I have a strong passion for music, I manage my own independent record label, and I also produce tracks for the label as well as signing other artists. I am also a keen DJ and have played many events across the UK, such events as The Bulldog Bash, Godskitchen, Sundissential, Loverock Records events.
I have also run and promoted my own events in the Birmingham area, I was also responsible for booking DJ's, flyer printouts, poster printouts, venue hire, etc. This has given me a good experience of project management that has propelled me to exceed in any given role.
I have studyed 'Rigging and Technical Theatre' at college. This has given me more of an insight into what happens on the monitor desks and FOH desks. I am currently using a Digidesign VENUE but feel I could get to grips very quickly with other mixing desks due to my years of production experience.
We also use an Avolites Pearl Tiger for the lights. I feel very confident with patching in lights and chases and enjoy using the lighting desks almost as much as I enjoy live sound.
At college we have been part of many live shows, this has gave me a completely different outlook on how a live event comes together compared to just putting in the rigging for a show.
Other than music I have interest in some sports, comedy and computer gaming.
