About

I’m Garrett Trott, a festival and live sound engineer with 15+ years of experience mixing FOH, monitors, and IEMs for events up to 50,000+ capacity. Credits include Ultra Music Festival, Sham Bhala, and Paradiso at the Gorge. I have experience across line array and point-source systems, and a background spanning venue installations, audio company operations, and studio engineering.
I’m returning to full-time live production after a brief technical controls role, and I’m excited to bring thoughtful system design, precise tuning, and calm changeovers to demanding shows.
