TechTonic

Aaron Schwallier, better known as TechTonic, is a producer, DJ, and music educator from Grand Rapids, Michigan. TechTonic strives to meld the natural and electronic world through a seamless flow of stories to tell through music. Lush atmospheres and ethereal melodies juxtapose with gritty, aggressive basses and driving halftime percussion, cultivating a sound that is nostalgic yet innovative and forward thinking. Live shows blend original tracks, remixes, and edits that accompany live saxophone, EWI, keyboard, and guest vocalists, keeping every show completely fresh and creating a unique listening experience for the audience every time. TechTonic has also shared the stage with a number of notable touring acts, such as Mersiv, Jantsen, Daily Bread, Buku, AHEE, and more! In addition to his work as a producer and performer, TechTonic also founded a music production program in Grand Rapids Public Schools, teaching production to middle and high school students. He also runs the Grand Rapids chapter of Boredom Fighters, a non-profit aimed at bringing music education to underserved youth.
