QUESTION OF THE DAY:
"Why did you start your business?"
Growing up in a music-loving family, I was exposed to a lot of timeless music from many different eras, and many different cultures. I took piano lessons for 10 years, and learned the fundamentals of music writing, and although I progressed quite far, I had a love for technology - Whether it was "Frankensteining" Stereos together, or fixing old speakers, I found myself often being asked to play music for parties and other small events.
In Grade 11, I learned to work our school's sound system and lighting equipment - Our theatre was the home venue for the Mississauga Symphony, and rented regularly for local events, and I started getting paid to work there. Some events followed with a "Social", where I was also booked to play music. And this is where I realized I could make a business of this.
In my last year of high school I got a job working at a store that sold and rented DJ and Band Equipment, and also had a record store - It was the perfect environment to learn from the veterans, and mentor the beginners. And those that mentored me, and those that came on board with Feedback Event Services became my extended family.
My business is the result of a love of music, a passion for technology, a large network of peers, and the joy of helping people enjoy the little pieces of their hectic lives that they spend at the event that I am performing at!
