My vision and mission
My name is Tom van der Borst, a Dutch sound engineer based on the Costa del Sol. With db Sound Engineering, I combine technical knowledge, practical event experience and a strong feeling for music to support venues, artists and events with professional sound solutions.
My journey started in the festival industry in the Netherlands, where my interest in audio quickly became a professional focus. What began as hands on work around events and sound systems developed into a clear direction: creating sound that is technically reliable, musically balanced and able to bring the pleasure of music to its fullest.
Alongside my audio work, I also loved working as a DJ. Playing local parties, regular bookings and eventually a bar residency taught me to understand both sides of an event: the technical system behind the sound and the musical experience that the audience actually feels.
After studying sound engineering for both studio and live situations, I continued to specialise in live sound, sound system design and acoustic measurement. That helps me approach sound not only as equipment, but as a complete system: the speakers, the room, the audience, the music and the purpose of the event all need to work together.
Today, from the Costa del Sol, my mission is to bring the best possible audio experience to places where music plays an important role. From restaurants, bars and weddings to festivals and live performances, the focus should always be on sound that supports the music and improves the complete experience.
