ABOUT ME
Started on drums at 12 — which might explain why pocket and feel are the first things I listen for in a mix.
Most of the year I'm behind a console or a DAW: mixing records, running my studio Wall of Sound, and house engineering at El Ensayo. The rest of it I'm mixing front of house on tour — most recently 20 shows across 20 cities in Europe. That's where I learned what actually survives outside a control room.
I care about character over perfection — the kind of mix that still sounds like a band in a room...
Based in Mexico City. Working with artists and producers wherever they are.
