Devin Ridd
Brooklyn,NY
Summary
A multi-disciplinary musician at heart, my career naturally expanded into a love for sound mixing, and creative project management. As my career transitioned from traveling with touring bands to post-mixing and live audio recording on set, I apply the same technical precision and team-minded collaboration to every new project. From indie shorts to cinematic blockbusters, at the root of every project is a deep appreciation for bringing new forms of artistic vision to life. I find just as much fulfillment in supporting the technical aspects and backstage workings of someone else's art as I do in creating my own art; for me, the ultimate achievement is in the mutual appreciation of working alongside like-minded individuals on the creative process at large.
