Our third episode of the Sunlight Media podcast features Grammy award winning sound engineer and music producer Chris "TEK" O'Ryan Presented by our Founder & CEO Angelo Frisina Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, in 2002 TEK packed his life into a suitcase and headed to Los Angeles with a simple yet daunting task; to climb to the top of the world’s music industry. With very little money and very few contacts, TEK was able to get into studios around town by working as an unpaid intern. Having studied music his whole life, from piano lessons in primary school to jazz theory in college, and every instrument and discipline in between, TEK had an instant advantage over any competition. Combining a creative and scholarly edge with a passion to be better than the best, TEK rose from an unpaid intern to head studio engineer within a year. From there, consistent high-quality work throughout the years has seen TEK graduate through the ranks of the entertainment industry to where he is today. We discussed TEK's early days of music training and his journey from performer to producer. We learnt more about his personal approach to vocal production and how he got recognized as one of the industry leaders in this production art form.
