Colombian Musician and Audio Engineer Manuel Sanchez Makes Waves in Los Angeles

Manuel Sanchez is a Colombian musician, producer, and audio engineer based in Los Angeles. He invites others to share in his journey and achievements, having contributed to over 100 shows and movies for renowned clients such as Netflix, Disney, Hulu, and Amazon. Some of the notable projects he has worked on include The Glory (Netflix TV series), Parasyte: The Grey (Netflix TV series), The Abyss (award-winning Netflix movie), Big Bet (award-winning Hulu/Disney show), and Sweet Home (award-winning Netflix show), among others. He has had the privilege of collaborating with industry-leading engineers, including 15-time Grammy award winner Gustavo Borner.

Born in Bogotá, Colombia, Manuel has been passionate about art and creativity from a young age. He began studying music at the age of 9. After completing school, he pursued music studies in Colombia but always dreamed of studying in the U.S., despite financial challenges. Determined to achieve this goal, he applied to Berklee College of Music—one of the top music schools in the world—and prepared for his audition with an original composition. In 2017, when Berklee held auditions in Colombia, he seized the opportunity, knowing that a scholarship was his only path forward. A few months later, he received a letter from Berklee awarding him a scholarship, a moment of disbelief and joy for him and his family.
