Thomas Knight - Audio Engineer, Producer

In 2020, I enrolled at the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences. A week later, the pandemic began. I stayed with it through the chaos and completed their Master Recording Program II in a newly-developed hybrid format. After completing my internship with Lookout Recording Studio in Phoenix, AZ, I formed Laughing Daffodil and produced Pushing Pluto's first LP, Hush, with multi-platinum engineer Ralph Patlan (Megadeath, Brian Welch, Fayuca).


In 2021, I worked at the Performing Arts Center of Estrella Mountain Community College as A1 for live performances and broadcasts.


In 2022, I moved to Los Angeles with my wife and joined Encore as a Technical Lead, setting up audiovisual equipment for corporate events: conferences, meetings, break-outs, and general sessions. I currently work as a Lead Technician for Five-Star Audio Visual at the West Hollywood Edition and have provided sound for a number of high-profile clients including: NBCUniversal, Warner Bros., Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Studios, Apple TV, MGM, Focus Features, Red Rock Entertainment, AMC Network, TIME, Vanity, Interscope Records, Goldman Sachs, Virgin Voyages, Grindr, ByteDance, and Adobe.
