Irving Artero

Hi, I’m Irving Artero, Director of Audio Production for the Career Technical Education program at SJVA.

I hold a technical certification in Audio Recording Technology and a minor in Music. With over 14 years of experience in the Los Angeles audio industry, I’ve worked as a recording and mix engineer, music producer, sound designer, and live sound mixer. My work includes collaborations with major labels such as Def Jam and Warner Bros., music placements on streaming platforms like Netflix and Freevee, and sound production for national brands including McDonald’s.

It’s been a privilege to transform sound into story—and now, to guide students in doing the same.
