Roy is a local musician, DJ, filmmaker, and audio engineer currently living in San Francisco. After spending 4 years in the Navy as an electronics technician, he began his audio engineering career by volunteering for some of San Francisco’s finest recording studios, where he eventually earned the privilege of working with a diverse list of artists such as Vanessa Carlton, Alanis Morisette, Death Angel, and Gov’t Mule. From there he was offered his first gig doing live sound, which quickly turned into a full time job for him at Cafe du Nord in San Francisco. After 5 years of live sound adventures, he can proudly say that he’s mixed at a wide range of venues from San Francisco to Sydney, and for artists such as P.F. Sloan, Howard Tate, Jason Lytle of Grandaddy, and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters.

As a musician, he finished his first album in 2004 under the name Organik, which he performed, recorded, mixed, and mastered on his own. More recently he has had the opportunity to compose music for PBS and various short films and animations. Today he continues to write music for film and TV, and is currently working on his first film. He can also be seen DJing and playing live shows all over the Bay Area under the name “roy two thousand,” which is a one-man live act incorporating guitars, bass, melodica, a turntable, a laptop, and a looper.
