Early in his journey, Andrés' passion for music took root in 2002 when he first learned to play the guitar. As his curiosity grew, he immerse in the art of recording and learned new ways to enhance the impact of his music. It was during this time that he discovered his calling to work in music studios. In 2011, Andrés graduated from Los Angeles Recording School in California. His dedication and talent were soon recognized, leading to invaluable internships and a significant role at Elytron Studios in Santa Monica. There, he spent two years working alongside Mexican talents René Garza and Aureo Baqueiro.

In 2019, Andrés was honored with the Spotlight Award, an esteemed recognition presented to him from a pool of 10,000 graduates of the Los Angeles Film School. This accomplishment solidified his position as a rising engineer in the industry.

Andrés embarked on a fulfilling career path, initially returning to Mexico to expand his knowledge and expertise in sound. He began his journey in audio post-production for TV commercials, dubbing, and live sound in theater. His unstoppable determination led him to secure a role as a recording and mix engineer at Sony Music Studios, where he thrived for nearly three and a half years. Within the prestigious Latin American recording space, Andrés had the privilege of collaborating with top Mexican, Latin, and international artists, including La Oreja de Van Gogh, Armando Manzanero, Natalia Lafourcade, Lila Downs, Carlos Rivera, Ha*Ash, and La Sonora Santanera.

He accomplished five multiple Latin Grammy nominations for his work on "Hasta La Raiz," and had the pleasure of winning “Best Sound Engineering for an Album” category.

In 2017, Andrés returned to his native Colombia to collaborate with one of the country's greatest musical figures, Carlos Vives.
