Kevin Comadore—professionally known by his stage moniker DJ Big Skully—is a New Orleans, Louisiana-based audio engineer, music producer, live sound specialist, and media entrepreneur. As the founder and operator of Smoking Skull Productions and the Skully Crates DJ Record Pool, Kevin has established a reputation for technical precision, acoustic clarity, and genre versatility across both studio recording environments and live venue production.

 

With an approach that bridges the gap between raw, dynamic live sound reinforcement and radio-ready studio mastering, his engineering domain spans New Orleans Bounce, R&B, Southern Soul, Hip-Hop, Gospel, and EDM.

 

Studio Production & Audio Signal Processing

In the studio, Kevin is recognized for custom audio shaping and high-definition clarity utilizing his signature #SkullyMix audio re-engineering technique. His studio skillset covers tracking, vocal tuning, multi-track mixing, and mastering optimized for streaming, digital distribution, and physical media formats.

 

His studio engineering, production, and remix credentials include work with prominent artists across Hip-Hop, R&B, and Gospel, including:

 

  • Hip-Hop & R&B: T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Chance the Rapper, and affiliation with Nappy Boy Entertainment.

     

  • Gospel & Faith-Based Music: Kirk Franklin, Deitrick Haddon, Canton Jones, and Tasha Cobbs.

His hybrid studio architecture merges digital performance tools with advanced digital audio workstations (DAWs):

 

  • Hybrid Systems Integration: Combining real-time live performance tools like Serato DJ Pro with PreSonus Studio One production environments.

     

  • DSP & Plugin Architecture: Exploring digital signal processing and C++ plugin design using the JUCE framework to develop custom audio processing utilities, auto-tune modules, and vocal talkbox emulation tools.

     

Live Sound Engineering & Acoustic Optimization

On stage and along performance routes, Kevin applies high-precision acoustic engineering standards to live sound design. From large-scale outdoor events—such as managing annual Mardi Gras sound operations along the Canal Street parade route in New Orleans—to indoor venue staging, he handles complex sound reinforcement needs under demanding live conditions.

 

His live sound competencies include:

 

  • System Calibration & Tuning: Aligning PA systems, shaping EQ curves, and managing speaker dispersion for complex indoor and outdoor acoustic spaces.

     

  • Signal Routing & Gain Staging: Managing multi-source audio feeds, wireless microphone systems, and hardware control surfaces with clean gain staging and feedback mitigation.

     

  • House of Worship & Event Services: Systems consulting, broadcast and streaming audio optimization for online audiences, choir/live performance reinforcement, and worship team technical training.
