Joshua Arizmendi
(AR-Iz-Men-Dee)

Joshua graduated with a BA in Audio Arts & Acoustics from Columbia College Chicago, focusing on studio recording and sound for motion picture.  After graduation, he started doing more live stereo recordings of orchestras, choirs, and barbershop quartets hoping to achieve the most “realistic” recordings possible. He started working at PianoForte Studios as an intern in the winter of 2015 and then completed a three month internship at Chicago Recording Company in May of 2016. He was promoted to Assistant Engineer at PianoForte in 2016 and left the studio in 2017. In 2017, Cardinal District, of the Barbershop Harmony Society, hired Joshua to be their live sound engineer for District and Prelim contests.

Joshua is currently freelancing at Chicago Recording Company, Soundmine Studios, and has a mobile rig that has allowed him to record in Nashville, Salt Lake City, Pittsburgh, and all throughout Illinois stretching as far south as Bloomington-Normal. His styles of music range from Jazz, Classical, Choral, Latin-Pop, Acapella, Folk, Instrumental, African Gospel, Rock, and Rap/Hip-hop.
