Right then, grab a cuppa; this one’s a long’un
Most of you are looking at this and thinking, “mate, that’s an empty room.” Fair. But I’m looking at 20-odd years of graft, and another 20 to come.
Back in 1998, little me was doing the rounds of the local school discos with ONE CD player. One. So I’d be waffling absolute nonsense on the mic with one hand while swapping CDs with the other, waiting for the bloody thing to load, cue it up, rinse and repeat for a couple of hours. My old man had the hookups, and a local company used to lend a skint kid their sound and lights for free just so other kids could have a boogie. Legends doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Then in 2011 I went off travelling the world with a Pioneer controller and a battered laptop. No room for anything else, I was a dirty, smelly backpacker and the rucksack was already full of regret.
Fast forward to 2026. Nine years in Whistler, and as everyone here knows, space costs more than a kidney. Who the f*ck can afford a room just for speakers?! So I’ve been grinding away unusually, and I’m proud to say I’m now the owner-operator of Sea to Sky’s number 1 multi-op entertainment company, and we’re absolutely killing it. So proud of my team. And honestly? Bloody f*cking proud of myself too.
Then the universe finally threw me a bone. After YEARS on the waitlist, the storage company rang. A unit’s free. I’ve never driven so fast to sign a contract and pay rent in my life 🚚💨
Second thing I did? Dropped $15K on new gear landing next week. Bigger sound. Better lights. More audio solutions. More everything.
Some people see an empty room. I see years of hard graft behind me, and plenty more years of hard graft ahead. Stoked doesn’t cover it.
