GEE SWART

Been working in the industry since 1996.

Worked as a freelance sound engineer while studying. This included working for a number of radio stations on their OB side and events.

Studied at the UofN in Lakeside, MT, doing their SAEP (school of audio engineering and production) this was mostly studio sound.

After completing the course I was asked to join their staff team, and ended up running Studio 501 for about 2 years.

I started GNS Pro Audio after getting bored in the studio, and toured the US for two and a half years. I got to do sound in every major city in mainland USA, and did roughly 500 gigs in that two and a half years.

During this time, bands I mixed for included:

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dixie chicks
100 Hours
Matt Redman
Tim Mc Graw
Bon Jovi
All But Screaming
Reveling
Alanis Morissette

I returned to SA for a year doing sound for video followed by teaching in Norway and Sweden with UMU on sound for live production purposes. On my return to SA, I freelanced and got to do both stage tech, FOH and Monitors for a whole list of national and international bands and shows. I currently work with SMD Technical, doing technical production management.
