Background

About Igor Efimov

I am a highly experienced professional in the music industry with over 10 years of diverse expertise ranging from touring, studio recording, producing, and teaching. I possess a deep knowledge of current music trends and maintain a close relationship with industry professionals in North America, Europe, and Asia. As the Coordinator and Regular Faculty member of the Music Technology Diploma (MTD) program at Douglas College, Vancouver, I provide leadership, advising, and operational support to ensure the program functions effectively. I schedule and chair regular MTD program meetings, liaise with the Community Music School, and collaborate with the Administration to organize timetabling and facility usage. Additionally, I contribute to curriculum guidelines, participate in program planning, and assist with budget requests. In my previous role as the Head of Audio and Project Manager at Event Media Design, I successfully produced and managed various audio production projects for high-profile clients such as Microsoft, Vidcon, Prime Minister Trudeau, Toronto Symphony, and Soul in the City. I was responsible for overseeing AV operations at prestigious venues and training and managing staff. Additionally, I handled day-to-day operations with exceptional attention to detail. During my tenure as an A1 Systems Technician and FOH engineer at SEAS in San Diego, I supervised audio equipment and a crew of technicians for live performances. I mixed FOH for notable artists like Dillon Francis and ASAP Rocky, designed equipment placement, and ensured proper operation and maintenance of all audio gear. As a Front of House Engineer and Tour Manager for Phinehas, I conducted daily soundchecks, managed logistics, advanced shows with promoters, settled performance fees, and resolved any tour emergencies. I meticulously handled the day-to-day operations of the band, including scheduling tours, promotional interviews, and receiving payments.
