Live Playback and Show Control by Russell Dunlap
Russell Dunlap was born in Oklahoma and lived in Kansas before moving to Houston, Texas. He majored in music (percussion) at Houston Baptist University before touring with the Christian band "Oasis" (not that Oasis), with fellow band members Brian Tankersley, Paul Mills and Rick Crawford. The later edition of that band included Chester Harkins and the late Mark Rider.
Russell joined the Houston Police Department, placing music on the back burner. He retired from HPD after a 22 year career that included work as an undercover narcotics officer, and detective assignments in homicide, major offenders, the gang prosecution unit and supervisor of the Asian Organized Crime Task Force. Russell married his high school sweetheart, Debbie. They have built and managed successful businesses that they still own today. Russell returned to music, his passion, and is active in the Houston music scene. His level of expertise with Ableton Live, QLab, Resolume Arena, Disguise 3, GrandMA and production automation has placed him in high demand. He tours nationally and world-wide with various artists and productions. Russell and Debbie currently live in Sugar Land, Texas.
