Annie Kissiah

With roots in California, Berlin, and New York, I bring over a decade of experience as an audio engineer, music producer, sound designer, and DJ, thriving at the intersection of live mixing, deep studio work, and innovative sound design.

After graduating from NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, I developed a hybrid club music style in Berlin that has taken me across eight countries via five self-organized international tours, with sets at Berghain’s CTM Festival, Boiler Room, BBC Radio 6, and more. In 2021, SoundCloud named me a “DJ to Watch!” 👀

Alongside performing, I’ve built a career as an A1 audio engineer and technical director, mixing at award-winning Bay Area venues like the Julia Morgan Ballroom and California Shakespeare Theatre, and serving as Technical Director of SF Pride’s Main Stage (2025). I’m Dante (Level 1) Certified, Avid Pro Tools Certified, trained in Dolby Atmos mixing at the Dolby HQ with Women’s Audio Mission, and highly experienced with most standard mixing desks and softwares (Allen & Heath, Roland, Mackie, Midas, Yamaha, ETC, QLab, and more).

At Swell Music & Sound, I currently engineer and design sound across projects while also handling outreach, A&R, and client relations, contributing to initiatives like their new sync & licensing library, “Top Shelf.” I’ve also created sound for independent films, podcasts, and Native Instruments’ Massive X preset packs, and I’m a signed composer with Cavendish Music and WotNot Music, with tracks in international licensing libraries.

I’ve recently re-located to Brooklyn, New York and am seeking opportunities in audio engineering, technical direction, and sound design, while continuing to produce and perform. I’m excited to bring my hybrid background in live event production, studio work, and experimental music to new collaborations and teams in NYC.
