About Me - ☺☺☺
Pura Vida! Thanks for visiting my site. 

I’m Julian Picado a Costa Rican:

- Mastering Engineer - I love stereo, but can do Atmos and practically any other existing format.

- Producer - I usually record, mix, and master the projects I produce as part of my creative process. I’m currently working on projects with Latin American artists such as: Moncho Berry, Nicolle Jadad, and Matar Fuma.

- Guitarrist/MD/Live Electronics - I tour the United States as guitarrist and DJ for Brooklyn-based artist BAYLI.

Sometimes I do work as a recording engineer. I’ve had the honor of working for artists such as: Keith Richards and Steve Jordan from The Rolling Stones, Larrance Dopson from 1500 or Nothin’, Norah Jones, and jazz luminaries like George Cables and Lenny White

I had the privilege of studying guitar at Berklee College of Music with masters of the craft such as: Tim Miller, Tomo Fujita, Jon Damian, Mick Goodrick, Tiger Okoshi and John Baboian. I then furthered my knowledge in audio with a Masters in Music Technology at NYU under the tutelage of Paul Geluso. My research was focused on immersive music techniques for pop music. I also learned about mixing and production from GRAMMY-award winning engineer Kevin Killen (David Bowie, U2, Shakira, Peter Gabriel) and mastering from Alan Silverman (Chaka Khan, Norah Jones, Keith Richards, Bebo Valdés).
