He studied at the very heart of the Music Conservatory of the University of Chile surrounded with musicians of all kinds, from classical to rockers, from pop performers to experimentals. That allowed Jesus to devevelop a great musical and artistic skills to take him beyond technical and technological aproaches.

Jesus moved to Los Angeles, California to do his internship with the Grammy award winner Mauricio Guerrero and start working at top-notch studios at industry level, including Igloo Music Studio of Gustavo Borner, another many award winner engineer.

Back in Chile, He founded “Piso 33”, a live recording and filming company that published a series of YouTube videos of live performances on various landscapes of Santiago de Chile with many local bands, such as “Los Elefantes Nunca olvidan” and “Tripa”.

Jesus Martinez Retamal is in my experience an amazing engineer. For me he is someone to trust with mixing and editing your music, as he does this with a lot of care, attention and professionalism, as well as being quick to deliver results. I’ve worked with him for my latest EP, and I can say that the mixes he has done for me sound great: they are well-glued and spacious, and the character of the music was beautifully enhanced through his mixing too. He is also a very kind person with who you can communicate well about expectations and revisions. All in all, it’s my pleasure to recommend him!
