The Academy of Sound Engineering (ASE) recently welcomed back one of its proud alumni, Thabo Damari, Senior Broadcast Engineer at Primedia Broadcasting, for an inspiring session with our current students.
With headphones on and passion ignited early in life, Thabo shared his journey from humble beginnings as a radio logger to leading complex broadcast operations at top stations like 702, 947, and CapeTalk. His visit brought real-world insight into broadcast engineering, emphasizing resilience, consistency, and the importance of mastering both technical theory and practical execution.
Thabo encouraged students to embrace every opportunity—even unexpected ones—and to keep up with evolving technologies like Audio over IP and Livewire. He stressed that while ASE lays the foundation, success comes through persistence, continuous learning, and a proactive mindset.
His story is a testament to how ASE empowers students to grow from curious creators to industry leaders.
