James A. Mortensen

I’m a seasoned Audio Engineer with 13+ years mixing front-of-house and monitors for internationally touring acts, delivering precise, artist-approved sound in large venues from Red Rocks to the Greek Theatre. I’ve worked as a Playback Engineer and Keyboard Tech for Alanis Morissette, managing playback systems, keyboard rigs, and live broadcast support across international tour dates, and I’ve mixed FOH or monitors for the Gipsy Kings, Iration, Sublime with Rome, and Fortunate Youth—often coordinating with touring crews, stage managers, and local staff to ensure fast turnarounds and seamless show flow. I’m fluent in venue-standard systems such as Avid VENUE, Yamaha CL/QL, and Allen & Heath dLive, with a strong understanding of system integration, signal flow, and RF coordination in technically demanding spaces.
