The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences presented Pablo Munguía with his eighth Emmy Award in the week leading up to the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday.
Munguía BM ’97, director of the Music Production, Technology, and Innovation graduate program at Berklee Valencia, received the Emmy for his sound mixing at the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show with Bad Bunny. With two nominations this year in the Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Variety Series or Special category for his work both at the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards broadcasts, Munguía has been nominated for 29 Emmys throughout his illustrious career.
During his career, Munguía has worked as a freelance live-television music and audio engineer with the audio teams responsible for the Oscars, the Grammys, the Super Bowl halftime show, the American Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, and others. He has also worked as a freelance producer and engineer for Céline Dion, Barbra Streisand, Cher, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Madonna, Robbie Williams, Beyoncé, Shakira, and Alicia Keys, among others.
The Master of Music in Music Production, Technology, and Innovation program explores cutting-edge developments and forward-thinking techniques in music and beyond. Through accelerated study of hybrid recording, music video production, sound design, musical app development, electronic production, and live performance, students are challenged to disrupt the status quo while inventing the future of music.
This year, 26 Berklee alumni were nominated across a variety of sound mixing, sound editing, composing, and acting categories, with six Berklee alumni taking home Emmys. Among them, Berklee Valencia alumnus Luke Dennis MM ’15 took home his second Emmy for Outstanding Sound Editing For a Limited or Anthology Series, Movie or Special for his work as a music editor on Beef, “It Will Stay This Way and You Will Obey” (Netflix).
