Without shows, Brandon Blackwell — audio engineer for stars like lizzo, NICKIMINAJ, Camila_Cabello — is Twitch streaming, trading stocks, and writing a children's book

; he’s breaking those skills back out for Twitch and also posting highlights on YouTube. “It makes me feel like I have an actual work schedule. And it’s technically live production, so it kind of feeds two of my needs there,” Blackwell, now 29, tells. It doesn’t pay yet, but Blackwell hopes Twitch will become more lucrative when he’s back on a tour bus, and maybe even part of his marketing plan.

“It’s not what I’m used to, but it is something, and something is better than nothing,” Blackwell says. “If I can continue to replace half — or more — of my weekly salary through stock, I’m basically covering my living expenses and am not necessarily eating my savings up. But that’s risk to take in the stock market, especially right now, since it’s so volatile.”

The Jersey native wants to stay positive. His most surprising activity of the moment is, without a doubt, writing a children’s book about the live music industry, which was his fiancée’s idea. He points out that kids love listening to music and learning, alike — and that most of them don’t know what goes into putting on a fantastic show. “They go to a show, see it happen, and then they just go home — and that’s it,” Blackwell says. “If they don’t know what the industry is, they definitely don’t know what a sound engineer is. I didn’t know what one was when I was that young. But if I had known a little more about it, it might have piqued my interest earlier.

His energy exhausts me just hearing about it.

I’m a beginner songwriter/musician and just wanted to share this song. Still learning!
