May 27, 2023-- Lunch Meeting with Daniel Farrar - Co-Owner of 2 Brothers Lighting LLC
I originally met Daniel on a corporate gig several months ago. He mentioned he and his brother had started a lighting company to provide rentals for film production and events. Recently we ended up on another gig together. During some downtime he shared more of his story about why he started the company and some highlights of the journey so far. I was very inspired by his story so I reached out to him a few days ago. He was totally down to meet up and offered as much time as I needed to gain some insight and clarity on starting a small lighting/audio-visual rental business. Just a few days later we had an awesome 2 hour lunch. I am so grateful for the gold nuggets he dropped on me. The lessons learned and tips & tricks he provide me covered almost everything under the sun about setting a small business up for success. Thank you Daniel.🙏 When you are looking for the newest, cutting edge film and event LED Lighting rentals and accessories hit up 2 Brothers Lighting LLC🏁
May 25, 2023-- My Story
The intention of this for profit business is to provide the very best small audience pro audio sound system for DJs and Vocal Performers such as RnB, Rap & Hip Hop and Dub in the Austin, TX Metro area.
The sound system will be available for corporate live events, entertainment, rehearsal and training.
My goal is to purchase RCF Self-Powered Loudspeakers, Allen and Heath SQ-5 Digital Mixer+Stage Box, Shure ULXD4Q Quad Channel Digital Wireless Microphone System, Chauvet DJ Dual Gig Bar Move 5-in-1 LED Lighting System, ADJ Pro Event Table II Collapsible Event Table, Mixer/Rack Case w/wheels, Furman M-8Lx Power Conditioner with Lights, Monster 8001 Pro MI 8-outlet Power Strip, Tri-Taps, DIs and cabling.
What is my Why? Because performers and audiences deserve the very best auditory experience. I feel that it is essential that established and new performing artists have an opportunity to perform behind an AWESOME SOUND SYSTEM. A proper experience is a total game changer for everybody. I will be offering affordable training and rehearsal time. This is my way of serving the community and making a living.
I grew up in the Piney woods of East Texas. I would spend countless hours listening to vinyl, 8-tracks, cassette tapes and CDs ranging from country, rock, metal to jazz, rnb, soul, reggae, rap and hip hop. In the late 90's I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Louisiana Tech University and then moved to Austin for a high-tech job. When I was in the 6th Grade I was a 1st Chair trumpet player. That following summer the Repo-Man knocked on the door and took my trumpet away. So, after college I picked up the trumpet and guitar, fell into an industrial metal band and then fell in love with mixing the live shows and recording the albums.
I realized that audio engineering and music composition were the perfect mix of science and art. I discovered my bliss.
I currently work in the live events business as a contract Audio Visual Specialist. My goal is to be an independent owner/operator of the most AWESOME SOUND SYSTEM in Austin, TX.
I ❤️🎶.
