About
I’m Nikolai Lotoev, a media executive and production leader with 20 years of experience across video production, sound design, and post-production. I started my career as a TV operator on federal Russian networks, and over time grew into a branch director role for a YouTube-focused production company, where I help teams deliver consistent quality from concept to release.
In parallel, I’m a practicing musician, composer, and sound engineer—having released five studio albums and worked as a signed artist with an Austrian label. Today I lead sound design for 4K YouTube and gaming content: building recognizable audio identities, composing original tracks, and mixing/mastering final deliverables while mentoring teams and optimizing workflows for modern production pipelines.
