About Me.

My name is Benjamin Mangum, and I've been a multifaceted artist since I founded my company, Dead Silence Media, in 2019, where I handle photo/video/audio/and creative directing for artists throughout the Midwest.

I began pursuing my passion for art when I was about 10 years old. I started learning Live Sound Engineering at a local church.  After I moved from that area, I used my engineering skills to work at the Northern Lights Concert Series and other places until I graduated from high school.

In 2019, I moved to the Twin Cities and attended the Institute of Production and Recording until 2020, when the school was shut down due to COVID-19. While attending school, I began my journey into Studio Audio Engineering and Video Production. Throughout 2019-2023, I became an engineer, producer, videographer, photographer, DJ, and graphic designer for various artists, including Manny Rose and Dee-a-Tee, which led to the official release of music under Dead Silence Media.

​

In 2023, I started a business relationship with WaterWaveTV as the primary recording engineer, videographer, and photographer for their platform. I primarily direct, record, edit, and mix the SneakShop Freestyles, Drown The Mic Performances, and Interviews.

​

In 2024, I started as the Production Manager for Jovonta Patton and The Wave, organizing, managing, and producing their services and events for the church body.

I look to the future with the belief that my company can become a symbol of creative freedom in the Midwest.​
