Benny Franke graduated from Cape Audio College in 2007. In 2007, Benny then worked as a PA & DJ salesman at Thomann which is europes biggest music store. Benny has done a whole range of different broadcast live streams, DVD recordings and live shows. Mostly I did work as PA system designer, recording engineer, Stage manager, technical director and 3D CAD engineer.
