About

I’m Cristian Avila, a Los Angeles-based audio engineer, music producer, and songwriter focused on creating immersive, broadcast-ready recordings and helping artists develop their sound from personal storytelling to finished tracks. With a Bachelor of Music in Contemporary Writing and Production & Songwriting from Berklee College of Music, I’ve built a strong foundation in recording, editing, mixing, and creative production—supported by scholarships including the Berklee World Tour Scholarship and the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation Scholarship.

Professionally, I’ve mixed and engineered voiceover, dialogue, and music for major streaming platforms, worked on live and studio sessions for artists in the Latin music space, and contributed to production and arrangement projects including soundtrack work for Disney’s 2025 series “Playback.” I also mentor emerging creators through curriculum design and hands-on workshops as part of the Andy Vargas Foundation’s S.O.N.G. Camp, where we guide original songs through songwriting, production, recording, and performance.
