What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining studio production and live AV work at collaborative, growth-focused companies where I can expand technical skills and contribute to diverse music projects.

I am an experienced audio producer and live sound technician based in Amsterdam with over eight years of self-taught music production experience and formal studies in audio production. I have worked as a ghost producer, recording technician for bands, stagehand and IT/AV technician for venues and events, and I hold certifications in live sound and BCLS/AED.

My work spans studio recording, live sound, Dolby Atmos sound design, and production across genres from EDM to Indie; I am pursuing a Bachelor's in Music & Audio at SAE Amsterdam while continuing professional work supporting concerts, festivals, and venue pre-openings. I prioritize collaboration, technical mastery of DAWs (FL Studio, Ableton, Pro Tools), and building networks to deliver high-quality audio and AV solutions.
