Emiliano Caballero on SoundBetter

🚨 1.5 billion streams 🚨 Latin Grammy® nominated Mix Engineer ✅

Hello! I'm Emiliano Caballero, and I’m a two time Latin Grammy® nominated mixer.

Growing up in Spain, I began my career at Galaxy Studios in Belgium, where I scored movies with composers such as Clint Mansell or Matt Dunkley.

In 2016, I moved to New York City to work at Electric Lady Studios with 7-time Grammy-award-winning mixer Michael Brauer. During my time at the studio, I worked with artists such as Bon Jovi, Foy Vance, Elle King and Michael Kiwanuka.

After my time on the east coast, I decided to move to Los Angeles to mix full-time and double down on my craft. In 2019, I was nominated for a Latin Grammy for ‘Album of the Year’ as a mixer for my work on Paula Arena’s record ‘Visceral’. And following in 2020, I was nominated again for ‘Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album’ by the Latin Grammys for my work recording Jose Luis Perales album ‘Mirandote A Los Ojos’.

WHAT MAKES ME UNIQUE?
• Open minded and efficient

• High level personal skills to get your record to connect emotionally. A community builder

• Mentored by industry giants such as Al Schmitt, Rafa Sardina, George Massenburg, David Miles Huber and Michael Brauer
