Macky Mangasi

Creative Head & Lead Lighting Designer

A lighting designer and director working at the intersection of creative expression and technical execution. Macky began his professional journey at 16 with the Bayanihan Philippine National Dance Company and has spent nearly 29 years in the entertainment industry, including close to 20 years specializing in lighting. His work spans concerts, theatre, musicals, television specials, international tours and large-scale live events.

As a touring Lighting Designer and Lighting Director, Macky has worked across more than 120 cities, 30 countries and four continents. His credits include major productions such as SB19’s Simula at Wakas, Gary Valenciano’s Pure Energy, Eraserheads’ Huling El Bimbo and The Rivermaya World Tour.

His approach begins with listening — to the artist, the music, the venue and the people who bring a production to life. From the first creative conversation to showtime, every lighting choice serves the experience.

Macky is the first Filipino Lighting Director to work on productions at Lollapalooza and Summer Sonic Music Festival, and the first Filipino lighting director accredited by APIEM as a Certified Event Lighting Manager. He also serves as the Official Avolites Ambassador for the Philippines.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT / CAPTURE & DEPENCE

PREVISUALIZATION.
