Written in third person to make me sound super important.

Luis Miguel was born in Caracas, Venezuela, where he started his career picking up cables. Eventually, people started calling him a recording engineer so he did that for a while. He also spent a lot of time playing as a sideman to many local artists, sharing stages with some very famous people and with a lot of other people you probably have never heard of but that taught him a lot of things about music.

Somewhere along the way he also earned a degree in electronic engineering, which made him extremely organized and somewhat averse to corporate office environments. These experiences led to great opportunities as a producer and composer, roles that he is drawn to not only because of the creative challenges they present but mostly because of their collaborative nature.

Tired of Venezuelan food, he went all over South America and Europe before moving to the US in 2011, where he was awarded a scholarship by the University of Miami. He studied there under Carlos Rafael Rivera and Chris Boardman, graduated in 2013 and moved to New York City shortly after finding out that pizza slices there were only $1. 

For the past several years Luis has been focusing on podcasts – more specifically, highly produced narrative and documentary shows. His work has consistently topped podcasting charts all over the world and earned multiple radio and journalism awards, including a Peabody nomination in 2020.
