LOUD Technologies Music Gear Group has appointed Jason Tan to the position of Mackie product specialist for the APAC region.
Based in Singapore, Tan joins LOUD after more than 20 years in the professional audio industry.
In addition to a lengthy career in live sound and recording, he is the founder of Eastwardaudio, one of the region’s major production facilities, where he oversaw productions for Universal Music, Sony BMG, EMI, Pony Canyon, and other major labels, as well as film scores and corporate clients including Coca Cola, Lexus, Hitachi, and Motorola. Singapore’s National Arts Council also appointed Tan as a mentor to its youth music program.
“Jason brings a wealth of Pro Audio experience to the table, from both a distribution and an audio engineering/production perspective,” states Rohan Smith, LOUD director of APAC Music Gear sales. “His technical and training expertise is first class. I am confident he will add significant value to all of our distribution partners’ businesses as we drive forward with new, groundbreaking products.”
Tan adds, “Working with LOUD is like a dream come true. I’ve used Mackie and Ampeg products since I began making music. I can’t remember how many hours I’ve spent making and mixing music with Mackie gear. It’s fantastic working for a company at the forefront of pro audio technology. I’m looking forward to supporting the events and activities of Mackie’s great partners in the region.”
