It was just 2 years ago…

The sound was deep, you could feel it inside youself as it had its clear range of melodies that made your body move and you could feel the energy it was producing. The lights were bright and exciting to watch as they cascaded around the sky and the buildings that surrounded the park. The video walls showing awesome visuals, the crowd dancing and waving to the cameras. It was the Green Space by the 519 and it was one of my favorite gigs. The energy was great, the people were great. I knew the property and the power requirements and all the equipment that was being used. I had run both of those stages by myself for a few years. I was really lucky to have gotten that chance to show my experience. To look back, I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

3 years ago…OTF swag, during dance season

3 years ago this weekend would have been one of the fab OnTheFloor Ultimate Dance Competition. I do miss seeing this swag setup in the mornings as we started the day and all the fun that would happen there throughout the day. We have to remember and cherish these memories as we will be back there again one day soon.

If you are interested in any of the tech stories or want to reach out for any reason, I’m always around. Message me or email me. Follow on all those social media and pm me there as well. I’m looking forward to seeing all your lovely faces one day soon once this is past us.

Anything else, just have a look around the site. Cheers, just here Inspiring to Aspire.

Blackout! 3 years ago today!

It was three years ago that we were at an On The Floor Ultimate Dance Competition when there was a storm that caused a power failure in the building we were using. I remember it well. Running around trying to figure it out the electrician tells me he has two backup circuits. My head rushes into problem solving mode and I put the sound system and equipment on the two circuits and grab all of the battery LED par lights to surround the stage. The dance competition continued through the power outage and it will be one of those great memories for a lot of us.

Definitely check out the https://onthefloor.ca/ Dance Competitions. Such an amazing group of indivisuals that run wonderful dance schools, private classes and Dance Competitions.

More than just the music…

I guess there has never been an explanation for this tagline. I’ve used it on this website and it sounds pretty good, but what is the actual meaning? I guess it’s time that I open up a little. I originally was planning on making music the main attraction to this website and to my life to be honest. Along the years I came across new technology, I became a stagehand and an audio visual technician where I was involved in creating these amazingly huge performances. That made me realize that although I do consider myself to be a musician, I am much more than that. I have evolved into so many other things, been flexible and followed true enjoyment. I have moved from writing poems, to writing lyrics. Strumming chords to writing songs and performing in bands and orchestras, choirs. Working in factories, to working with Audio Speakers, lighting and video walls, to setting up boardrooms and conferences, to setting up stages for some of the biggest names in musical history. To now bringing online broadcasting skills to media companies and festivals. Needless to say, that it is… More than just the music.

3 years ago today

So it was 3 years ago this weekend that I had set up staging, lights, audio and a video wall for a fab dance competition, ON THE FLOOR. The wonderful Mitch Jackson and Lisa Hupe started this great dance competition so that kids had a chance to dance and explore themselves. I always had a wonderful time with everyone involved and became quite passionate about its success. I do feel like I had become part of the team. Here’s to great memories.
