Musical Director | Playback | Autotune | Ableton Show Programming
A$AP Rocky
From 2018 to 2022, I had the privilege of overseeing playback, show programming and Autotune for A$AP Rocky's performances. Throughout this time, I traveled extensively across the globe, diligently ensuring that each concert reached its pinnacle in terms of auditory excellence. This allowed A$AP to fully engage with his audience, delivering unforgettable experiences at every turn.
Saweetie
Got the chance to join forces with the Saweetie crew on an epic project. We upgraded to top-notch tech for our playback setup and rocked out at the Banc of California Stadium. I built a whole new Ableton session from the ground up (they were using Pro Tools before). It was a killer project, and I'm pumped I could be a part of it.
Snoh Aalegra
I had the privilege of running playback for Snoh Aalegra during "The Weeknd" After Hours Till Dawn Stadium Tour. Collaborating closely with the music team, I ensured that all edits were top-notch, contributing to the seamless delivery of unforgettable performances.
The Kid Laroi
I was brought in at the eleventh hour for the kickoff of the "End of the World Tour" with Kid Laroi in Australia. My role was to ensure that rehearsals ran smoothly and on schedule, guaranteeing a seamless start to the tour.
50 CENT
I handled playback duties during 50 Cent's guest appearance at the 2019 NY Rolling Loud, where he shared the stage with A$AP Rocky. It was an electrifying experience being part of such an iconic moment in music.
DRAKE
I worked closely with Drake's team to seamlessly integrate his performance into a special edit of A$AP Rocky's live show at the LA Forum. Handling all aspects of playback, I ensured the performance was flawlessly executed, contributing to an unforgettable concert experience.
Brockhampton
In 2017, I worked closely with Brockhampton to elevate their live show experience. As a dependable Ableton professional, I ensured flawless music playback, captivating audiences with an immersive auditory journey. Managing their playback setup posed significant challenges, especially with the demand for 6 simultaneous autotunes, pushing the CPU to its limits. Despite the obstacles, my determination led us to develop pioneering new software with StrangeElectronic, now widely adopted thanks to advancements in gear technology.
24kGolden
In 2022, I embarked on new projects, including working with 24kGolden to manage playback and autotune for his concerts and live events. In addition to creating special edits for the shows, I also conducted thorough rehearsals with the band, ensuring a deep understanding of the music for seamless performances.
Russ
Stepping in as a playback operator for Russ on his tour through South Africa was no small feat, but I handled it seamlessly, without missing a beat. With years of cumulative experience and honed skills, I'm adept at jumping in at a moment's notice to ensure shows run smoothly from start to finish.
Run The Jewels
I collaborated closely with Run The Jewels DJ, Trackstar the DJ, to transition to an Ableton playback setup equipped with redundant computers, timecode, and click tracks.
Mike Posner
During Mike Posner's US tour, I had the chance to fill in as a playback tech for Henry Strange and Strange Electronic for select dates. Additionally, I've been involved in various one-off shows over the years, including appearances on late-night TV like James Corden.
LANY
I had the privilege of running rehearsals and managing a substantial amount of programming for the LANY live show in preparation for the tour. This involved making numerous adjustments to the CV settings for all the synthesizers. It was a demanding but ultimately fulfilling task to successfully complete the job.
TOOSI
I was responsible for programming Toosi's entire live show, including autotune integration. We conducted rehearsals with the band in preparation for two TV appearances, during which we fine-tuned the performance and created custom live edits for the shows.
