Engineer/Instructor
Encompassing the friendly California vibe and eclectic nature of San Francisco, Sound Arts engineer Ian Luo is a creative, passionate, and extremely hardworking individual. Ian may be seen riding his vintage-looking single speed around town roving from gig to gig, as he is not only a recording engineer, but a performing DJ and traveling musician as well.
His personal taste in music involves everything from indie band discoveries, to classic recordings and Top-40 pop artists, and his resume reads just as diverse. Engineering credentials include voiceovers, sound design for a telephone program, and various band/music recording projects. He has worked with and on diverse styles of music, such as hip hop, jazz, singer-songwriter, string quartet, electronic, and rock recordings, including local San Francisco band Blackstone Heist. As a musician, Ian has played in multiple school ensembles and bands, including rock, jazz, and funk groups. This experience and knowledge of singing, playing bass, piano and keys also allowed Ian the opportunity to travel to New York, Montana, and Australia to perform.
