Today we’d like to introduce you to Noah Jensen
Hi Noah, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I started in the production world back in 2012, getting my first opportunity to mix in the one of the churches I grew up in, about 30 minutes outside of Boston, MA. I’d already been playing in worship bands for a few years, but being as there was more than one bass player in the church, I didn’t get to play every week. I was always trying to be involved, because I would rather be doing something than just sitting in a pew. I don’t exactly know how the conversation came about, but somehow I ended up behind the large analog mixer our church had, and the rest is history.
Fast forward to 2025, God has put me in a position I never could’ve dreamed up as a 14 year old. From mixing FOH weekly at large churches around the Atlanta area, to production managing and running audio for large corporate shows, traveling around the world, and stage managing for festivals and conferences.
Atlanta has been an incredible place to grow in the industry. When I first moved down here in 2020 after I finished college, it was very slow, and I had to put in a lot of work to network and get my name out there. In the last year or two, my phone has been ringing with more work opportunities than I have time for. All the glory to God for that. I’m incredibly grateful.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Definitely not, but I’m grateful for the journey God’s put me on. You have to sacrifice a lot of things. Time, relationships, etc. I can only speak for my current situation, but I am BUSY. If you don’t love it, you’re gonna have a really hard time. To put it simply, you’ll spend more time in airports and hotels than you will in your own home, you’ll work multiple 10+ hour days back to back, you’ll get sick of catering and your favorite restaurants, and you’ll bring work home with you almost every single day. Most significantly, you’ll spend a lot of time away from the people you love. It’s not the glamorous life that many people believe it to be. I love what I do, I really do. AND it can be really, really hard. That’s the honest truth.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
At this point in my career, I wear a few different hats. I’m a full-time employee at a corporate events company based in the Atlanta area, handling everything from production managing to stage managing, FOH audio, travel logistics, loading trucks, and everything in between. On the side, I regularly mix FOH at 2 different churches, and am on rotation at 4 different churches as a bass player. Additionally, I play bass in a corporate band in the city. As I said before, I stay BUSY. There’s very few days that I don’t have anything going on. I’ve got no one to blame but myself. I keep choosing to stay busy.
One thing about me is I stay very organized. In a way you have to be when you’ve got so many things going on.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Try out a handful of different things, and do things that are out of your comfort zone. If you agree to do something, do it! All you’ve got is your word, and honesty and relationships will take you a long way. Don’t burn a bridge to take an opportunity for more money if you’re already booked. Short term, it could be a good play. Long term, you risk screwing up a relationship with a regular client who could give you business for years down the road. Most importantly, always work hard, and try your best to be the best person you can be. Everyone is human at the end of the day, so you’ve got to have some grace.
