Tena Tatou!
Ko Kristian Paul Ahau. He Uri o Te Arawa, me Ngāti Kahungunu me Ngāi Tamanuhiri hoki.
Kei te mihi kia koutou Katoa.
I’m Kristian, a freelance TV/Film sound recordist, Boom Operator and Audio Playback engineer. I have over 25 years’ experience in all aspects of audio across Music Production, Radio, Television and Live events. I currently reside in Wellington but for work purposes, I like to consider myself location free given I frequently travel between Wellington, Hawkes Bay, Gisborne and Rotorua. Ultimately, I can be wherever I’m required for as long as it takes to complete the job.
I specialise in Documentary, Lifestyle & Reality TV shows, live broadcasts, studio recording and the various social platforms. My sound kit is made up of industry standard equipment providing professional quality results everytime.
