"Big" Mick Hughes

The sound engineer that I choose is "Big" Mick Hughes because is the live audio engineer for Metallica that is one of my favorite metal groups. He's with this band since 1984.

He was born in 1960 and grow up in Birmingham, England. Big Mick has mixed Metallica at every one of the more than 1500 shows they have preformed since their November 1984 tour of europe, with only one exception. In 1988, on the Load/Reload tour, Big Mick had hearth palpitations and he was hospitalised. The Armoury Show's management company QPrime then asked Mick to engineer a band they had just signed called Metallica (prompting Mick to ask "What's heavy metal?" when told the genre of music they played) starting a relationship that has lasted nearly 30 years.
The most important reason why I admire him, it's because his work fot that band had been amazing, not any person is working with a band for so long, considering the difficulty of their work.
