My love affair with sound began when I bought my first 4 channel mixer at age 14. I started making mix tapes for my friends (fading one song into another). They were very impressed!
I attended my first sound engineering course at age 16. This was my first taste of a real studio, and I loved it!
I did my first session as a drummer at age 16 as well.
I did work experience at 2GO Radio Station at age 17. I helped to record jingles, commercials and voice-overs. It was a lot of fun!
I got my first 4-track cassette recorder when I was 19. Actually, it was on loan from a good friend of mine. It was a Tascam 244 Portastudio, complete with DBX noise reduction! I bought my own 4-track recorder soon after handing the Tascam back to my friend. It was a Yamaha MT120. I recorded so many demos with it - I literally wore that machine out!
To date, I've spent more than 25 years of my life learning about sound.
I'm now 48, and my passion for sound is still as strong as it was all those years ago.
My journey with sound is far from over!
