Sound merchguy TOur manager photos

Hello my name is CHUCKY
I'm a Tour manager/Sound Engineer from New Zealand. I've been working in the industry since 2002 and have been lucky enough to worked with, educated and shared moments with some of the most amazing people in the music industry. With 7 years and over 800+ live shows of experience, Touring all over the world and experiencing new cultures and many tour busses, has given me enough experience to be able to adapt to any situation.
My job is to keep the artist/s involved comfortable and sane in their new surroundings, understand their needs, wants and wishes so their live performance is perfect all the time.

I also manage a record label called Broken Hill Records which is a label designed to deal with underground tallent. Bands that have been on the label such as ... "Flying solo, Sixlip, Illrecieved" have all put out noteable releases in the Christchurch scene. Broken Hill is still a passion of mine and I am looking forward to seeing where it will go next.

On top of all of this I also sing for a band called sixlip based out of Christchurch NZ. We will be touring Round the world over 2008 so keep an eye on there myspace page cause I would love to meet up with you all if im in your town.

And if all of this wasn't enough I also am an amateur photographer specializing in band and live band photography, but am always open to taking all kinds of different shots. I Run a Canon 5d MK I and a 580ex II, 2 x 430ex II, Canon 24-20mm 2.8 and sigma 14mm. IF you are keen on getting some photos taken have a chat im always keen to talk!
