Like so many performers, Di Sanzo struggled when COVID-19 took that work away from him. He found himself becoming depressed. Di Sanzo's teammate John Peter Añon, the assistant head of sound, also longed for live shows during the performance shutdown.“This pandemic was really rough, to be away from what I love so much,” Añon said. He’s originally from Venezuela and moved to North America to pursue this career. He expressed a mixture of excitement and hesitation — while he’s happy to return to entertaining live audiences, the work can be stressful with its repetition day after day, he said.
“It’s not just the music that I love, it’s not just sound — it’s just show business,” Añon said. “Going from city to city, starting with nothing — with an empty arena, with an empty theater, with an empty parking lot. And putting something up that wasn’t there before.” His other secret to success: when you don’t know something, tell people you don’t know, he advised, adding that you should keep your head down and stay humble.
On the one hand, it’s provided more opportunities to go out and see shows he wouldn’t be able to access as easily in many other places. But it also means more competition.
