Hey, I'm Seth Ely.
I’m passionate about helping artists, musicians, and organizations connect to their audiences in a clear and fresh way through live events.
About
I’m a Production Manager and Audio Engineer based out of Columbia, SC, with over 10 years of experience in the audio field. From audiences of 12 to 12,000, I like to think that I've managed to see a decent variety of situations so far. I apply that experience on every show to solve new problems I encounter along the way, hopefully with a positive attitude that leaves a lasting impression. My background ranges from touring and live music, to house of worship, corporate events, and audio consulting. Additionally, I’m a drummer. You can hear my recorded work here.
