Manny Marroquin, born 21 September 1971 in Guatemala, is a Grammy winning mixing engineer. His family moved to Los Angeles when he was nine due to the Guatemalan Civil War.[1]

After graduating from Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles, California, he joined a local studio as a runner and worked his way up to an engineering position.[2] His professional breakthrough came during a late night session when a producer asked him to do a rough mix. The producer was impressed with Marroquin's work and asked him to mix the entire album.[3]

As a mix engineer, Marroquin has worked with such well known artists as Whitney Houston, 2Pac, Pink, John Mayer, Shakira, Maroon 5, Rihanna, Ludacris, Jazmine Sullivan, and Duffy.[4]

He won his first Grammy in 2000 for Mary Mary's album, "Thankful". In 2004 he received three nominations for his work on the Alicia Keys, Usher, and Kanye West albumsall of whom were nominated for "Album of the Year". Marroquin took home two statues for Kanye West's "College Dropout" and Alicia Keys' "Diary of Alicia Keys". In 2005 he earned another Grammy for his work on the album "Get Lifted" by John Legend.[5]

The Grammy Museum, which opened in Los Angeles on 6 December 2008, is acknowledging Marroquin's musical achievement with its mixing exhibit. The interactive exhibit allows players to mix a track under the guidance of Marroquin.[6]
