Available to hire
Hi there, I’m Sam Lyon, a dedicated audio engineer and studio producer based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I specialize in live sound for church services and touring events, as well as studio recording, mixing, and artist development. I love building teams, training volunteers across multiple campuses, and delivering clear, powerful mixes.
Over the years I’ve collaborated with churches, touring crews, and independent artists, including 242 Community Church, Ward Church, and Liberty Worship Collective. When I’m not on site, I enjoy arranging and writing music and continuously expanding my toolkit with new audio technologies and production techniques.
