The Story…
A long, long time ago in a
land of enchanted forests and… oops, wrong story. A lot of people ask
"How did a couple of kids in their early 20’s start a company like
Backstage Audio?” Well, the story the best that I can remember is that
back in 1996, a couple of boyz, Josh Bowman and Matthew Bonham wanted
to host a church dance. We saw it as a way to bring more youth in.
After a lot of red tape and begging, we were finally approved but were
still left with a dilemma—what did we know about DJ-ing? If you didn’t
guess, we knew nothing. Nada. Zip. So we took the church sound system,
a couple of cd player boom boxes, and a cheap mixer from Radio Shack
(funny how everyone gets there start from Radio Shack?!). So a few
blown breakers, unedited songs (oops), and countless Mt Dews® later,
were rolling—we’re shaking the church. No one really remembers how
well it went but it evidentially wasn’t bad enough for us to give it
up. We were actually asked to make a return appearance. Since then,
Josh has worked numerous fast food joints, radio stations, and
department stores to earn money to invest into Charleston’s “best kept
secret.
