Meet Wayne Dyer | Audio Engineer & Producer| Avery Blue Productions

We had the good fortune of connecting with Wayne Dyer and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Wayne, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The thought process was quite simple: If there are no opportunities that are appearing, create your own. That’s what I’ve done. I am the first in my family to graduate college, so there was no rule book on “how to make it.” I’ve buried myself in every article and book that I could find on business and marketing to improve my skills. I am no where near where I want to be financially or professionally, but I focus on being better than I was yesterday. As I continue my business venture, I am reminded that I started this business to fill a gap in the market place.

The recording industry in general has become more liberal and now everyone can buy an interface and a laptop to produce content…I think the gap in the industry is between the home producer and access to professional services. This is where we want to capture the marketplace.

What should our readers know about your business?
This started as a high school ambition. I was a young musician thinking about my future, with no real calling. My passion was firmly in music but I knew that I would need a job. I didn’t want to settle for minimum wage work so I went to school for the closest thing to music: audio engineering. This solved two issues for me: higher income, and closing my lack of knowledge in studio technologies. I value independence so working for myself was always a dream.

This entire path was a monsoon and hurricane of failures. I’ve made so many poor choices and got lucky with a few great ones. The ability to be adaptable is the saving grace for me. I’ve worn so many hats throughout my professional life including Lyft driver, studio engineer, music instructor, warehouse worker etc. I think I try to learn from every experience and make my future projects better. I aim high and try to learn the knowledge I need, to get where I want to go. I call this process: “Back to the drawing board.” It simply means: reflect, build, test, reflect, refine, execute. Easier said than done but that’s why I believe the most important skill in life is the ability to be adaptable.

I want the world to know that we aim to empower artists with education and professional services. We have an educational blog we are building for aspiring audio engineers and producers.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I have lived in Los Angeles long enough that I am jaded… I’d recommend you travel up north to somewhere like Big Sur. Go somewhere unique and quiet, and get away from the artificial allure of Los Angeles. Find those interesting restaurants and and natural getaways. I’m planning on going up to the bay again because I am so over Los Angeles.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like give a shoutout to the teachers I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and being mentored by over the years. This goes way back to Pre-K all the way through college. I’ve had so many teachers recognize my potential, skills, “talents,” creativity, and determination. I think without the support and mentorship of truly selfless people, I’d be a lot worse off and have a lot less focus. When I think about the teachers of the world, I think of compassion and empathy. Their big hearts are tenacious and brave, and I think that is contagious.
