    Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles, he began working at Enterprise Studios as a runner and worked his way up to an engineering position.[1] His professional breakthrough came during a late night studio 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, although the album was eventually not released.[3]

    Marroquin won his first Grammy in 2000 for Mary Mary's album, Thankful. In 2004, he received two Grammys for Album of the Year for Kanye West's The College Dropout, and Alicia Keys' The Diary of Alicia Keys. He won another Grammy for his work on the album Get Lifted by John Legend In 2005, and Battle Studies by John Mayer in 2011. The Grammy Museum, which opened in Los Angeles in December 2008, acknowledged Marroquin's musical achievement with its mixing exhibit. The interactive exhibit allowed players to mix a track under the guidance of Marroquin.[4]

    In 2013, Marroquin partnered with Waves Audio to release a signature collection of virtual instrument effects that includes EQ, Delay, Reverb, Tone Shaper, Triple D & Distortion plugins.[5] He currently works from Larrabee Sound Studio 2 in Los Angeles.[6]
