I am from a town where most people don't even think of sound engineering as a job. I have had a life where sometimes I don't even have ten cents to buy biscuits to soothe my hunger. That journey is a story in itself, which I will share another time. It has not been easy—I sometimes say that if I knew I would go through what I have gone through I am not sure if I would have done it. However, the experience has been mind-blowing, and those toughest times are some of my very best memories as I look back now. From a place where I'd never been on a plane to one where I sometimes fly every week to different places to do events for clients. From a place where I was timid and couldn't even speak properly to one of boldness and self-confidence. From a place of trying to prove myself to people and fit in, to a place where I just do my best at being me. So what does this have to do with sound engineering and Africa? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8eb33a29cdc645f98539a7/1586531238573-YANU9Z16YF2X6IETYZY3/Remember+Chaitezvi+Toni+Braxton+Tour++%285+of+23%29.jpg SOUND ENGINEERING AFRICA - If you are a sound engineer in Africa and you think you are going to make lots of money, and that is your basic motivation, I am not sure whether that will carry you through when the road gets tough. What motivates me is faith in God, and the belief that He wants what is best for me. Again, there is more to be said about this, but not for the moment. My second level of motivation when I do sound engineering is to make people's dreams come true, for both the performer and the event organizers. One of my mentors is Andreas Furtner, the German former head of the Audio Department at Gear House South Africa . He once said, "...For you to be successful as a sound engineer, there has to be a balance between comfort and struggle. If your life is too comfortable you may relax, if you struggle too much to get basic needs you may give up. Having this balance is key." And again, there will be more on this. https://remember.africa/contact daily 0.75 2020-12-03 https://remember.africa/about daily 0.75 2024-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8eb33a29cdc645f98539a7/1607014607755-FRKVZPBG4NZWNDPICEVR/About+background++%283%29.png https://remember.africa/podcast daily 0.75 2023-02-17 https://remember.africa/remembertv daily 0.75 2023-02-17 https://remember.africa/mentorship daily 0.75 2025-06-02 https://remember.africa/work daily 1.0 2020-04-10 https://remember.africa/work/rememberchaitezvi monthly 0.5 2020-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8eb33a29cdc645f98539a7/1586463104984-QICJXON15I6GYJROZ3ZC/Remember+The+Plug+Remember+Chaitezvi-101-5.jpg Work -
