I'm a Music Producer, now specializing in sound design for video (Film, social media and TV spots).
I've been working in the music and events business for 10 years, specializing in the area of sound. Five years ago I started working in the audiovisual area, participating in the different stages, from sound production to post-production and sound design. I've worked on 4 feature films (three of them documentaries), 3 short films and several spots designed for social media and television. In my services are the needed in Post Sound and Music Mixing/Editing, from dialogue editing and ambience and fx design in post, to everything related to music. I go better with acoustic music, although i've produced and mixed some Alternative Rock too and i'm open to new adventures.
