  Swell Records & Bass Head Collective

  Mar 1995 - Jan 2000

  Marketing & Branding Ambassidor - Live Event setup and opening act DJ

  Working with Swell Records and Bass Head Collective was one of the first real jobs that exposed me to live event management! While working with Swell as a DJ and marketing ambassador, I learned a great deal about advertising and working one-on-one with C-Suite clients. While most of my day would consist of promoting for upcoming live experiences, it would be my job to go to clothing shops, live venues, and cultural events to help promote big name artist that would be in the Arizona/California area for major concert style events. Most events would showcase multiple artists from around the world. Artist such as Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Nigel Richards, Soul Odyssey, Uber Zone, Christal Method, Aux 88, Richie Hawton (Plastik Man), Aphex Twin, Diesel Boy, and more. Each event had a special set design (which I would help set up, and though most of the equipment used at the time was analog, I was exposed to early projection mapping, lighting, and audio technologies. The opportunity of working with Swell gave me a serious edge over other people in the A/V industry. It gave me an idea of the importance of safety when rigging truss, or ensuring that everything was ready when the show went live! I learned about critical elements of the live entertainment business; facets such as how power distribution and signal flow worked, as well as a great deal about C-Suite client interaction.

When conducting myself, I like to think that I am very passionate about my craft. The AV industry should be considered as a practice (similar to law or medical) - When operating within the field the risk assessment always differentiates based on the type of event the client is wanting and all of the variables needed to be taken into account that will make that event a success. Clients always expect the best experience, so I always do my best to deliver 5 stars and 5 diamond experiences. Both personally and professionally, I really enjoy improving my skills. I drive upward and choose to hold a positive approach as well as a clear decree of diligent preplanning, design, and production processes. Show less
