Taylor Nicole Samuel

(860) 319 - 4101

Focused on the intricacies of audio set up and design. Available for mixing with a preference in stage craft.

References available, along with performance reviews upon request.

Amended February 2025:

No longer accepting new clients without a referral.

All engineers/technicians, stage management and venue directors deserve the opportunity to facilitate an environment where the artist is as comfortable as possible. Not only for the artist, but the audience. Exceeding expectations is my only goal.
