199. Lorin White, FOH / Mon - Lionel Richie, TLC, Mariah Carey Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

On Episode 199, the hosts are joined by taco lover and audio engineer Lorin White. He is currently out as Monitor Engineer for Lionel Richie, and over the past few years has worked with artists such as TLC, Mariah Carey, and more. They talk about working as the house monitor engineer for major Award shows like the Latin Grammy's and Latin Billboard Awards, giving advice to up-and-coming engineers walking into awards shows for the first time. Lorin tells about his roots in the San Fransico music scene and how that led to a successful touting career, and much more.
*Disclaimer the audio on this episode is a little rougher than our typical quality, due to multiple scheduling conflicts we took the opportunity that we had, to get this episode recorded. The background environment on Lorin White's end was less than ideal but, It was worth having this conversation regardless.
