An avid home brewer for the last decade, Trevor Ward decided to take it to the next level and open his own brewery. This pleases his wife Cristina if only for the fact the that his brew gear is now out of the house. Trevor, a former guitar shredder turned music audio engineer. Trevor made a name for himself tracking and mixing records for many of the San Francisco bay area’s rap luminaries of the 1990s amongst other acts. Hits were made, fun was had and bullets flew. It’s a long story.
Moving to Los Angeles in the late 90s, Trevor continued honing his engineering chops. He worked for Dolby Laboratories in feature post production and television amongst the best of the best in the sound community. He is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Cinema Audio Society. Trevor mastered well over 1000 film titles, tuning and designing countless mixing studio audio reproduction systems. He decided that just wasn’t enough work on his plate. HiDef Brewing was born. The name Hidef and hophead headphones logo is a nod to his life experiences and passions.
