Backstage is My Stage

There’s a very different kind of thrill that comes with working in the Event Industry.

It’s not the “office-job” thrill.
It’s not the “routine-task” thrill.

It’s the thrill of building something from scratch, under pressure, with a timeline that never feels enough - and still making it look effortless.

That’s what I signed up for. And honestly, that’s what I fell in love with.

I never wanted a normal job where every day looks the same. I wanted a job where the energy is real, the chaos is real, and the impact is instant. Because in events, you don’t just plan things… you create moments. Real moments. The kind that people talk about even after the music stops and the lights go off.

A big part of the job is the backstage work no one sees but everyone feels.
Aligning talent, managing call times, stage schedules, sound checks, rehearsals, hospitality, logistics, and last-minute changes… all while keeping the vibe intact.

Because an Event is not just another Party. The event is an experience. And experience only works when every small detail behind it is taken care of.

No matter how perfectly a plan is made, something will go off-track. A mic frequency issue, a flight delay, a tech glitch, an artist backout -  anything. And in that moment, you don’t get time to pause. You just move.

You make decisions quickly.
You control the flow.
You make sure the audience never knows what went wrong.

The spotlight is on the stage. But the real magic happens backstage.

This industry has given me so much — confidence, resilience, leadership, and the ability to stay calm when everything around is moving fast. It has taught me how to handle pressure, manage people, and deliver the impossible with a straight face.

And somewhere in all of this, I realised one important thing - events don’t run on plans alone. Events run on passion.

Because you can teach someone logistics. You can train someone on the processes - you can’t teach someone to care.

This blog is my way of reconnecting with why I started. To remind myself of the rush, the excitement, and the pride that comes after pulling off something big. Because once you’ve lived this life — the walkie calls, the show cues, the last-minute fixes, the crisis management — you don’t really forget it, you get addicted to it.
