Hernán Santiago: Recording Engineer

Hernán Santiago has been a part of the Sweet Sounds family for over 2 years and he is remarkably talented at what he does. He has worked with music industry giants including Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans.  He has also worked with artists Ice-T, Savage Garden, Tru-Life, SpankRock and Macy Gray.  His range of experience goes all the way from Hip-hop and RnB to rock and electronic dance music.(Both of which are fueled by his passion for New Order).  Don't be fooled by his humble appearance, Hernán Santiago is recognized industry wide for his "dog ears". Things the average A&R ear will miss, Hernán will pick up, point out, and correct.  A Bronx native, Hernán got his start at (PLATINUM) Island Studios in Manhattan in the mid-nineties and through the years gradually worked his way up from intern to recording and mixing engineer. His reputation for excellence being built throughout the years, industry heavies seek him out for their recording sessions knowing that he will deliver. And while other engineers have a black book with phone numbers, Hernán's black book is filled with the secrets of how to bring to life the sound the artist is imagining in their mind.  Sweet Sounds clients keep coming back for Hernán's signature sound and we hope Hernán can be a part of your next project!
