Who I Am
Biography
Jorge Montijo is a multi-hyphenate creative force — an audio engineer, spirits brand ambassador, and filmmaker whose career spans studios, stages, and distilleries across three decades.
Music found Jorge early. At five years old, Uruguayan folk legend Daniel Viglietti would lull him to sleep with "Duerme negrito." He was acting by elementary school, performing musical theater in junior high, and teaching himself guitar by high school. He went on to study music and education at the University of Puerto Rico — where a passion for sound was already taking deep root.
The turning point came in 1998, when Jorge helped record the debut album of Cultura Profética at 56 Hope Rd — Bob Marley's legendary Kingston home — working alongside Bob and Ziggy Marley's engineers. That experience ignited a lifelong love for the craft of audio engineering. He moved to Los Angeles in 2001 to formalize his training, and hasn't stopped since.
Over a career spanning nearly 30 years, Jorge has mixed movies, television, trailers, music, commercials, and podcasts. Whether behind the console, curating an exceptional pour, or developing a feature film, he brings the same commitment: to create experiences that resonate long after the moment passes.
