Kit McKenzie

What did you do before joining dBs?  

I was, and still am, a touring Front of House (FOH) engineer and venue tech.

Why did you first get into live sound engineering?

I played guitar in a band and developed an interest in the technical side of live music. Like a lot of engineers I fell into the job working in small venues mixing local bands.

Any special areas of interest?

I'm really into mixing consoles.

What do you love most about what you do?

I love mixing live bands and travelling.

Tell us about your proudest career moment?

A string of shows at SXSW in Austin.

What do you get up to outside of your role at dBs?

I like to play chess after mountain biking with my kids.

Tell us something our students may not know about you?

I play Banjo, Sitar, Charango and Stylophone. I also love Phil Collins.
