The Rock Factory Team includes:
- Michelle has over 15 years of industry experience and enjoys being in the zone and an integral part of the performance while mixing the band. She’s not afraid to add effects, EQ and adjust the mix on the fly. She had toured with several artists, including Jakob, Charlie Ash, House of Shem, Young Sid with a full band, Sweet & Irie, and Ruby Frost. She’s currently the live sound engineer for White Chapel Jak, 80s X, Shane Cortese & The 8-Track Band and The CVE. Michelle loves live mixing music; if you need a sound engineer for your band, give her a call.
- Mark has 20 years of industry experience – he was once the front-man of a band hailing from Palmerston North called Mailbox Skipole and also The GON. He’s a great mix engineer because he knows what the band wants on-stage as well as out the front.
- Rory has 5 years of industry experience and enjoys learning new technology, and is into both Audio and Lighting. He is a great all-rounder and a natural “people person”; he gets things done while remaining calm and understanding. They say your greatest asset is your people, well Rory the man!
