What people are saying

“Kieran is a solid sound tech, his professionalism is only matched by his enthusiasm. He truly loves what he does and it shows in every detail. Hardworking, professional, and kind. Top notch sound both on stage and off.”
The Undercovers

“Kieran has been my primary technician for the Wave Lounge for nearly two years now. He has, without question, improved the quality of our live experience for both the patrons and the performers. His knowledge, passion, and love of the work is what sets him apart from the rest.”
Bobby Amirkhan, Blue Lake Wave Lounge

“Kieran always brings the party — whether it’s biking around with his speaker or bringing spaces to life with his music and visuals, his presence, energy, and joy keeps everyone having fun! He is always on time, and the setup is robust, professional, and clean. I’ve seen him at huge dance halls as well as small house parties, and he doesn’t skimp on what he offers to either. Altogether, he’s a great entertainer and worker.”
