Stuart Kerrison will be working primarily in the European territories, but liaising tour sound companies all over the world. He has a long track record in the professional sound engineering business, and will bring real-world expertise and experience to Nexo's activity in the concert and tour sound sector, says the company.
Now resident in Oslo, Kerrison is in fact a Brit who lived in Australia until the mid-1980s. For 26 years, he has been a professional front-of-house engineer, touring the world with INXS, Erasure, Paul Weller, the Utah Saints and, notably, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, a band he is still mixing to this day.
Nexo's marketing manager Joe White described the appointment as "an important milestone, the first time that Nexo has recruited an operational expert and put him into the field solely to support our customers, and to provide a user's-eye-view to system designers and engineers that are coming afresh to our product design philosophy. Stuart has been there and done it at the highest level, and putting his wealth of knowledge at the disposal of our user network shows that NEXO is 100% serious about the tour sound business globally."
