“I believe, in whomever believes in me, under their own conviction". The phrase is believed to be said by Walt Disney first, but there is no historical data on it, when my father introduced me to it, it just stuck around to every aspect of my growth back in Venezuela.
​
On a trip to the US, I discovered the world of music beyond the consumer perspective, which led me to decide around 2013, as I was getting ready to move the US, that I wanted to become an audio engineer. In 2016 I started my journey into music at Full Sail University, where I obtained a Bachelors Degree on Recording Arts. After that it was time to get my career started so I moved to Atlanta to intern under recognized Mix Engineer Leslie Brathwaite.
Started as an intern for Leslie at Icon Studios, where he had his room at the time, and learned under his wing for several months before jumping ship to a studio called Blue Room Studios, on which my engineering career started.
During the years of 2017 to late 2019 I put myself in positions of learning so that I could hone my skills to the best time would allow me. I think having the privilege to be allowed in big rooms since a early age as an assistant engineer or assistant manager, with artist like TI, Dej Loaf, Playboy Carti, Akon, YFN Lucci amongst many others, gave me a sense of urgency to understand what I needed to excel at as an engineer, as well as the opportunity to learn from other engineers.
​
Currently as the Head Engineer of EOA Digital Studios in the city of Atlanta, I've had the opportunity to work with artists like Renni Rucci, Salma Slims, 24HRS, Hylan Starr, Mad Marc, Bobby Critical, WLPWR, Sky Morales, B Star, Slick Rich, Ash, Wizzmer, Los Wizzards, Faith Sully, Crash, PSG and many others.

Being from a different culture has helped me experience the Hip Hop industry in Atlanta in a different way, as well as it has given me a different outlook on the difference of both sides Latin and Anglo of the industry. This has allowed me with the opportunity to wrap myself with the creativity, of the artists and producers, to be able to take their productions and creative visions to the next level.
