Francesco Di Giovanni is a mixing engineer whose work has shaped some of the most successful records in the modern Italian music landscape, accumulating over 150 Gold and Platinum certifications and more than 5 billion streams worldwide.
He began his career in Milan, working as an assistant engineer in a studio primarily focused on jazz recordings, where he developed a deep understanding of sound, balance, and musical dynamics. Driven by ambition and a strong work ethic, Di Giovanni later transitioned into the pop and urban music world.
In 2019, he achieved his first Gold record, marking the beginning of a rapid ascent within the Italian music industry. Shortly thereafter, he began a close collaboration with Charlie Charles, one of Italy’s most influential producers. This partnership led to Di Giovanni mixing Famoso, the landmark album by Sfera Ebbasta, featuring major international artists such as J Balvin, Future, Steve Aoki, and Diplo. The album went on to earn six Platinum certifications, exceeding 300,000 units sold, and cemented his reputation at the highest level of the market. Di Giovanni’s career-defining moment followed with “Mi Fai Impazzire” by Blanco, which became the most-streamed Italian song of all time on Spotify. The single has amassed nearly 200 million streams, earned nine Platinum certifications, and stands on the threshold of Diamond status, with over 900,000 units sold. This success further established him as a trusted mixing engineer for top-tier artists and chart-topping releases.
After consolidating his position in Italy and working extensively with the country’s leading artists, Di Giovanni relocated to Los Angeles to expand his career on a global scale. He joined Larrabee Studios and quickly distinguished himself through his technical skills, professionalism, and musical sensitivity, leading to his promotion as Mix Assistant to Manny Marroquin, one of the most in-demand mixing engineers globally.In this role, Di Giovanni has been directly involved in high-profile international releases for artists such as Travis Scott, Rosalía, Demi Lovato, Pharrell Williams, BTS, Tate McRae, The Kid LAROI, Marshmello, and DJ Khaled, contributing to projects that reach global audiences and achieve major chart success.
Rather than pursuing a signature sound, Francesco Di Giovanni approaches mixing as a process of deeply understanding the producer’s vision and emotional intent. His philosophy centers on respecting the original demo while elevating it to its fullest potential, ensuring that clarity, impact, and emotion translate seamlessly across systems and listeners worldwide.
