Professional as it gets. Sounded like a million bucks.

Brain Waves Audio ran our sound at Canton Pickle Fest on May 30 and the bands were impressed, the crowd was grooving and it was so clean and just lovely. Wonderful, will never use another sound guy. He has me wanting to throw a music festival next time. Thanks for the hard work.

Thank you, Sarah! We had a great time at Canton Pickle Fest and are thrilled that both the bands and attendees enjoyed the sound. It was a pleasure working with you, and we truly appreciate the kind words. We'd be happy to help with any future events or festivals you have planned!

Booking information

What to expect

When you bring me onto your event, you get a dependable audio professional who takes control of the technical side so you can focus on everything else. I handle all aspects of sound setup, operation, and teardown, making sure the event runs smoothly from start to finish.

You can expect clear communication, punctuality, and a calm, solutions-oriented presence on show day. I work well with performers, event staff, and other vendors, adapting quickly and keeping everything on schedule.

My goal is simple: to deliver clean, consistent sound and create an effortless technical experience for you and your guests. No surprises, no stress, just a smooth event.

About

I’m a live-sound engineer with 12 years of experience supporting concerts, and corporate events of all sizes. I handle complete audio setup, operation, and troubleshooting, ensuring every event runs smoothly from load-in to load-out.

My approach is detail-driven and adaptable, whether the job calls for managing complex stage requirements, coordinating with performers, or keeping a tight schedule on a fast-moving production day.

I’m comfortable working independently or as part of a larger crew, and I take pride in delivering my part towards clean, consistent sound and a professional experience for everyone involved.

If you need a technician who’s reliable, prepared, and easy to work with, I’m here to make your event sound its best.
