BIO

Hello! I’m Fernando, widely recognized as Bola Delgado in the music circles. As a seasoned mastering engineer and drummer, I bring over two decades of professional experience to the table.
​
Currently residing in Spain, I’m fully immersed in my studio, honing my craft as a Mastering Engineer. Additionally, I engage in global collaborations, contributing to recording projects in studios worldwide.
​
I’m proud to be an endorsed professional with Ollo Audio, where I play a pivotal role in the development and testing of their latest headphone models.
​
Teaching is a passion of mine, and as a Mastering educator, I conduct private tutoring, workshops, and consultancy services focused on audio production, particularly in mixing and mastering.
​
My career has been marked by notable accolades, including a Latin Grammy Award and a finalist position in the “Profissionais da Musica 2020” awards under the “Best Mastering Engineer” category.
​
My academic credentials are as comprehensive as my professional ones. I hold a diploma in Sound Engineering from DGC Áudio and SAE Institute Madrid. I also boast a Bachelor’s (Hons) in “Audio Production” from Middlesex University of London, where I graduated with honors. My thesis explored the innovative integration of Binaural and Ambisonic techniques with conventional recording and mixing methodologies.
