About

Hi, I’m John Ndirangu Karuga, a seasoned Live Sound & Lighting Technician with over 6 years of hands-on experience in concerts, corporate functions, and worship productions. I specialize in setting up front-of-house and monitor systems, working with analog and digital consoles, and coordinating lighting to enhance performance visuals.

I value clear communication, teamwork, and keeping hands-on skills sharp under pressure. I’m fluent in English and Kiswahili, and I enjoy collaborating with stage crews and clients to deliver crisp sound and engaging lighting for audiences from 300 to 10,000 attendees.
