- Jett Galindo, Sound Engineer
Jett is a Boston-based sound engineer pursuing Music Production & Engineering studies with a minor in Acoustics & Electronics in Berklee College of Music.
Recipient of the 2012 Robin Coxe-Yeldham Women in Audio Award, Jett's experience in audio engineering dates back to 2005 when she merged her 2 passions--music & technology--by becoming a full-fledged sound engineer. Jett was taken under the wing of multi-awarded sound engineer, Robbie Grande, as an apprentice in the SFX Digital Sound Studios (Quezon CIty, Philippines) where she spent more than 4 years training & working full-time in the recording studios before attending Berklee to pursue formal sound engineering studies.
Since then, she has had the opportunity to work for various artists spanning across different genres (Seth Macfarlane, Javier Limon, Livingston Taylor, Philippine Madrigal Singers, Noel Cabangon, Bukas Palad, & the Aegis Band, among others)
Besides audio engineering, Jett is also an accomplished soprano who, as a member of the Ateneo Chamber Singers & Ateneo College Glee Club, has toured & performed in various countries spanning across Europe (Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Italy, & Netherlands), Asia ( (Japan, & Singapore) and the Americas.
She has also sung & engineered for various Philippine film scores and TV specials such as Mulawin: The Movie, Batanes, and Maging Akin Muli, among others.
Aside from her sound engineering studies in Berklee College of Music, Jett is currently busy with her duties as the choir director for the bi-weekly Boston Filipino masses held in Boston College / MIT. She also works part-time as a web & graphics designer for Berklee's Stan Getz Media Center & Library.
Jett looks forward to growing more as musician and audio engineer as she continues her studies in the Berklee College of Music. She continues to be grateful each day for this opportunity to grow, learn from and be inspired by Berklee’s distinguished professors, and fellow musicians in campus.

i hate the feeling you get when you jump into a petty self-deprecating conclusion about something and it haunts you throughout the rest of the day
keep it together, jett
- I love that you were named after Joan Jett! :D What's your fave Joan Jett song? Have you seen The Runaways?
my favorite song is “I Hate Myself For Loving You”. i’ve always liked it since i was a kid. and it’s still fun to sing. i should probably grab my dad’s LP’s and cassettes and start listening to more joan jett and the blackhearts again :)
i haven’t watched The Runaways yet. a bit ambivalent about watching it though, with kristen stewart playing her. - What's the origin of your name?
i was named after 80’s rock singer, joan jett. my parents wanted their kids’ names to start with the letter “j”, and joan jett was their favorite artist when i was born. the rest was history.

i got dragged into singing backup vocals for a folk blues tune my friend has written for his songwriting class. since taking “history of music city” class last semester and doing my report on country music production in prod analysis class, i’ve been looking forward to getting involved with folk blues/rock here in berklee. not that my voice works for that genre. but there’s just something raw and organic about folk music that draws me to it. way awesome that i got dragged into recording backup for sean’s final songwriting project.
my soundalike project: “Basketcase” by Green Day
jorel’s singing the lead vocals, that’s me in the background. come to think of it, i’ve sung in 3 soundalike recordings this semester, all of them for male vocal tracks.
(…my voice is getting more and more schizo nowadays)
the drums are sequenced from MIDI by my partner, daniel, using Xpand. guitars were also tracked by daniel. i was in charge of the dirty work—editing, mixing, and mastering.
fun times
day 50: august 1 2010 | linggo
i saved more than 50% on groceries today. frugality FTWIN!
sigh. i’m really no songwriter. hah, don’t know when i’ll ever stop saying this but nevertheless, here goes my final harmony project. we have to write a song, and we’re given free reign on the song form and style. the important criteria is the harmonic progression, tensions and the subsequent analysis.
i ended up torturing myself by opting to do a tagalog a capella vocal arrangement. i’ve never arranged for voice before, although singing acapella pieces for most of my lifetime helped. and i figured i’d probably be the only one to submit an all-vocal recording. i’m not too confident with my filipino lyrics either, but the sound of filipino words in a classroom filled with foreign students is music to my ears… :)
