Megan Trout
My passion for music started when I was young. I grew up singing in church productions and joined my school band when I was 11 years old. I started playing a Cornet that my dad passed down to me, and soon after transitioned to playing French Horn. I continued to grow in my craft as a musician at Osceola County School of the Arts, graduating with a specialization in band performance. I always had a natural curiosity for how my favorite records were made, and in college I discovered the recording arts. I absolutely fell in love with producing music and after graduating with a degree in Sound and Music Technology, I got a job working in my college recording studios. For 5 years I mentored students in producing and recording music with local musicians, and assisted in the maintenance of the studios and equipment. I am always furthering my craft as a studio engineer through continuous research, education, and hands on experience.
