FOH, Producer, Mixer, Dudeist

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I'm too discret if you ask me (Introvert alert). Mainly because I'm always a little severe with my own work; "Nah, it's not that good, others do way better" kind of thinking. I did this for 3 years. I'm now focusing on "How can I make this even, powerful, intense, beautiful?"
