Darius Sakalas

I grew up strongly influenced by the visual arts realm as both of my parents are painters, illustrators and designers etc.- as well as generations prior and elder siblings. The majority of my passion driven creative pursuits throughout earlier life revolved heavily around studying, and performing behind a drum set + percussive instruments in a diverse array of groups/genres, along with photography intertwined. The combo of backgrounds has been undeniably advantageous whilst busking light and laser shows w/o the aid of timecode. One relevant accolade I received was being blindly judged by a laserist audience and awarded an ILDA “laser jockey” trophy amongst old pros at their annual conference. I fell in love with the idea of stage lighting as my premiere outlet after attending my first mega productions in my teens. It has since manifested into a full time career I'm truly proud of, having performed laser light shows across 3 continents, 6 countries, and international waters. I'm relentlessly determined to create, innovate, and integrate, ensuring every stage/set design I work on exceeds clients expectations and my ever rising bar as a personal standard.
