Mr. Big FOH Engineer Masae ‘Nishi’ Nishimura | Rig Tour

Between NDV’s indelible grooves, Billy Sheehan’s thundering bass licks, Paul Gilbert’s virtuosic guitar playing, and Eric Martin’s soaring vocals, there’s no shortage of sonic puzzle pieces to carefully assemble to successfully put on a live show with Mr. Big. Their 2023–2024 The Big Finish Tour is no exception. For Masae ‘Nishi’ Nishimura, the band’s front-of-house engineer on their world tour, each piece of gear — every part of its functionality, interfacing, and interoperative capabilities — plays an imperative role in making sure each show goes off without a hitch. As the Asian leg of their tour brought them everywhere from Japan and South Korea to Indonesia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and more, dynamic environmental factors intersect with a diverse array of venues and architectural stylings, resulting in an ever-evolving engineering landscape. How does Nishi man the mixing helm night after night? NDV decided to take a closer look!
