Valentina Caillaux

I am a recording engineer, producer, and songwriter originally both from Peru and Italy. Currently, I work as an Assistant Engineer at the renowned Sol de Sants Studios in Barcelona, under the mentorship of Alberto Perez. 

I honed my craft as a sound engineer with Mikko Gordon, Sean Woodlock, and Nick Powell at Goldsmiths Music Studios in London, while also working as an Assistant Engineer at Lightship95 Studios. There, I began as an intern under Giles Barret and Dave Holmes, where I gained valuable experience with industry-standard engineering practices and developed the skills to navigate professional environments and commercial sessions with confidence. 

I have also contributed to projects at Studio Highwater, ZigZag Studios and Alcanfores Estudio. 

Over the years, I’ve been part of a wide variety of recording sessions, from large-scale live band setups to intimate acoustic projects. My deep connection with Jazz recordings, in particular, has shaped my approach to capturing the soul and authenticity of live performances. 

My musical background as a flautist playing Jazz and Classical music provides me with a versatile ear and a strong foundation for crafting compelling sonic landscapes. This has informed my work as both an engineer and a creative collaborator, allowing me to easily adapt to different genres and artistic visions. 

I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with incredible artists internationally, including Rita Payés, Shai Maestro, Brisa, Maya Endo, Allexa Nava, Hohnen Ford, aron!, and many others. Whether behind the console or in the songwriting process, I strive to bring each artist's unique vision to life and create music that resonates deeply.
