Ken "Pooch" Van Druten has built a name for himself as one of the industry's top FOH Engineers. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music, Ken headed to Los Angeles to begin what he initially thought would be a long and lucrative career as a recording engineer. However, this all changed after the invitation to mix one of his artists in a live venue. The band was Warrant, and the venue was none other than the Los Angeles Forum. Since then, He has worked with such artists as Jay-Z, Eminem, Rob Zombie, Whitney Houston, Justin Bieber, Linkin Park, and Prophets of Rage.

192: RFR Rewind: Amanda Davis | What I learned From Singing In Church May 20, 2021

Show notes

How does a Memphis Gospel singer find her way to Chicago to become an Opera singer, only decide the spotlight isn't for her, and ultimately forge a career as the successful FOH Engineer for Janelle Monáe? It's these questions and more that I explore with the amazing and talented Amanda Davis. Frustrated by the constraints of her classical training, and realizing the spotlight wasn't where she was most comfortable, Amanda found a path into the world of live audio production where she has made a name for herself as one of the most solid Engineers on the road today.
