DJ. Producer. Guitarist. Engineer. Educator. Many words can be used to describe Orville Kline. When he's not performing in front of crowds of thousands around the world, Orville finds time to share what he learned in the studio and on stage with others. Years of studio experience in engineering and producing music naturally led Orville to become one of Chicago’s most in-demand Ableton Certified Trainers.
