Driven by emotion, guided by detail—turn music into an experience.

I’m Jorge Alayo, a mixing engineer, mastering engineer, and music producer from Peru, now based in Los Angeles, with over 10 years of experience. I help artists from around the world enhance the emotion in their songs and turn their artistic vision into a unique and professional sound.

Bio

My journey in music began at the age of 11, when I discovered the guitar by chance, followed by the drums, which captivated me from the very first moment. At 15, I recorded my first album, and from then on, the studio became an almost sacred space—a place where I realized the power of capturing moments that transcend time. The punk scene deeply shaped my artistic vision, with its “do it yourself” philosophy and drive to break the mold. That spirit naturally led me to explore the world of music production.

While studying Psychology, I continued playing and recording in different projects. However, once I began practicing as a psychologist, I realized I couldn’t divide myself between two paths. I then made the decision to dedicate myself fully to music and went on to study Music Production. I also worked for four years alongside renowned Peruvian audio engineer Rafo Arbulú. That stage was crucial to both my professional and personal development, allowing me to take part in projects with artists such as Gianmarco, Sinfonía por el Perú, among others.

During those years, my curiosity to expand my knowledge in music production led me to explore the art of mixing in depth. I had the opportunity to attend workshops with legendary engineers like Mick Guzauski (Daft Punk, Jamiroquai, Eric Clapton) and Tom Elmhirst (Beck, Adele, Travis Scott)—experiences that helped shape my artistic vision and allowed me to understand mixing from a completely new perspective.

Over time, I began taking on projects independently, contributing to the sonic identity of artists both as a mixer and a music producer. I've had the chance to work with both established and emerging figures from the Peruvian scene—such as A.C.O, Tourista, We The Lion, Gonzalo Genek, Cementerio Club, and Pelo Madueño—as well as with artists from Latin America, Europe, and the United States.

In 2024, I decided to take the next step and moved to Los Angeles to continue my career. I now operate my personal studio from Silverlake, where I mix and master records for artists around the world. I’m also part of the team at Larrabee Studios—the legendary recording and mixing facility led by Manny Marroquin. This new chapter represents the evolution of a journey that began with curiosity and passion, and that today continues to grow with a global vision and a deep commitment to music and art.

MIXING

Music Production

As a music producer, my work begins by understanding how the artist perceives themselves, their vision of the world, and their place within it.

From there, I focus on enhancing their artistic vision as well as the emotional and sonic concept of the project. I also guide every stage of the production—pre-production, recording, and mixing—leading to a final master that reflects a unique identity.
