Finlay
Wilson
Two years of experience in the Live Sound & Events sector, mixing numerous bands, solving problems, and shaping my own unqiue sound in live events.
Live Performances + Passion with Technology =
I'm Finlay — a Live Sound Engineer who's spent the past two years studying on the Live & Technical Events course at Confetti College, gaining real-world experience mixing for Live Events. My goal is to become a Live Sound Engineer mixing for local venues in Nottingham and beyond, working with bands and putting my own unique twist on their sound.
Mixing for live events combines my passion for live performances & events with my desire to tinker and experiment with technology. I've always loved debugging issues and figuring out problems, and now, I've managed to channel those skills directly into mixing. I love getting to the bottom of things and trying new solutions to old and new problems.
