How I Got Here
Posted on
My interest in music and sound started in my mid teens.
Education
I studied at Donut Creative Arts Studios and gained an NVQ Level 2 in Sound Engineering.
After college, I studied at Confetti Studios in Nottingham and topped up my degree at DeMontfort University, Leicester. I achieved a 2:1 BSc.
Experience
My career began with local PA Hire companies, working on local events, small festivals, and short tours throughout the UK. These include Made In Brum and the 60's Gold Tour (FOH Engineer). Through these companies I found myself working for various crewing agencies and often working at large corporate and live events in surrounding cities, such as Sheffield and Nottingham, and even large Arenas for High Profile Acts.
From this, I gained a position at the Local Theatre and Concert venue in Chesterfield, where I worked on various sizes of productions for around 5 years.
Recently, I have toured the UK, USA, Canada, and Russia as the Monitor Engineer for Cradle of Filth. I have also worked larger festivals and tours such as 'Rebellion' and 'UB40' UK tour as the on stage patch technician.
My interest and work in location recording has risen, and since leaving my employment at the local theatre, my intent is to push my own Sound Engineering career as A.S.E
