David Gaumé

Music Mixer and Audio Engineer David Gaumé joins me on the Spiritual Spiral Podcast. David has spent the last few years on the road working as the front of house audio engineer for some incredibly successful and well-known bands including Garbage, Failure, Local Natives, Fleet Foxes and one of my favorite bands, Other Lives. David is originally from Kansas City and from a very young age, whether performing in bands or working behind the scenes as a tour manager and engineer, he has always had a love for music. He currently lives in Los Angeles and we talk about this idea of feeling "at home" even when you're on the road for months on end. David shares stories about what a typical day for him looks like before, during and after an artist goes on stage. He shares stories about what it's like living on the road and we discuss technology and how tech has evolved and changed over the years especially in the music industry. We discuss the pros and cons of social media and why it may be more important than ever for bands to spend their free time connecting with fans so they don't "fall off the radar." We also talk about his early days in Kansas City, his first band and what led him to become a full time mixer and audio engineer.
