Available to hire
Hi there, I’m Fernando Montoya—a musician and audio engineer with a passion for live sound, recording, and education. I play drums, piano, Latin percussion, bass, and guitar, and I’m proficient in Logic Pro and Pro Tools. I’ve toured Japan and worked in studios and classrooms, delivering energetic performances and polished productions.
I love turning ideas into clear, impactful sound, whether I’m mixing a show, scoring for post-production, or teaching students of all ages. I’m a quick learner, collaborative, and dedicated to creating high-quality music experiences.
