This week’s guest is Live Sound Technician and Audio Instructor, Swann Barat. Swann is one of the smartest people I know, has one of the coolest first names you’ve ever heard, and has always been an inspiration to me, and others in her life.

She has toured North America and Europe with some really cool acts, including Hannah Georgas, The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, and The Belle Game. She is currently the House Sound Tech at Vancouver’s Fox Cabaret, and an Audio Instructor at Nimbus School of Recording and Media.

Swann Barat has been called one of Canada’s best sound tech’s, and what’s really cool about Swann is that she is one of those rare people who pretty much knew exactly what she wanted to do in life by the time she was 16, and has succeeded in pursuing her dream.

In this episode, Swann tells her story, from being raised by her grandparents in rural France, to deciding to make the move across the world to Vancouver, BC, to touring with some of her favourite artists, and what exactly it means to be a Sound Tech. I’d say more but I don’t want to spoil the story for you…
