I was born in Atlanta, GA; but grew up in San José, Costa Rica. At the age of 14, my life changed when I started playing guitar with close friends and recording our songs on a Tascam 4-track. Five years later, our band had played in over 70 concerts all over Costa Rica, and we recorded our first album. It was from that moment on, that I knew that sound was my passion and my destiny.
My musical studies lead me to a Bachelor of Music (Cum Laude) from Berklee College of Music in 2008, dual major in MPE/CWP (Music Production and Engineering / Contemporary Writing and Production). Through the years I have worked with many artists, in many genres of music and from all over the world. As a sound-mixer and designer I am starting to build a great reel, working with independent film makers from all over the world as well.
Currently, I live in Hollywood, CA with my girlfriend Alexandra and work as a freelance Sound Engineer on whatever comes along. I would love to meet new people and get a chance to work on new music, films, or anything that involves the artistic or technical aspects of sound.
