Available to hire
My name is Daniel Apolónio and I’m a sound engineer and audio professional with experience since 2000, focused on live sound, FOH operation, system deployment, and precise audio workflow for events and broadcast. I’ve worked with international teams and major productions, supporting everything from large-scale concerts and corporate events to live TV programs.
I’m comfortable operating high-performance PA systems, handling technical setup and calibration, and working in demanding environments such as live shows and global conferences. I also maintain strong training in modern sound system practices (including L-Acoustics and Smaart), and I’m available to support productions that require reliable, detail-oriented audio engineering.
