Christina Castillo, an Audio Engineering graduate from Tribeca Flashpoint Academy, not only retains extensive knowledge as an audio engineer (for studio recording and live sound), but also has a well-rounded background in business for art and music.



In 2005, during her internship at Invisible Records (based out of her hometown of Chicago, IL), she utilized skills in merchandise sales and assisted as ‘runner’ for artists in town during the "Pigface: *Free For All Tour" pre-production.  This soon led to assisting in tour marketing and street team recruitment for this nationwide tour.



Using this experience (along with her education at Columbia College for Performing Arts Management), she took on the duty of assistant tour manager, merchandiser, and photographer for a band off of the Invisible Records label.  She also implemented marketing strategies via social media and nurtured the growth of their fan base.

​

It was through one of many tours with this band that she fell in love with the energy of New York City and soon found herself in the heart of Manhattan, fully integrated in the music scene, not just performing, but more importantly, helping to promote the music and art events of her peers.  All the while, she worked as a personal assistant for the owner of world-renowned tattoo studio and dark art gallery, Last Rites Tattoo Theatre.  In addition to her personal assistant duties, she also kept inventory of valuable artwork, maintained the appearance of the gallery, and corresponded with in-demand artists while assisting in the organization of monthly art installations.



Christina has kept an open mind to various aspects of business for the music and art industries, which has added to her strong portfolio of work.  As an audio engineer, with a number of projects to her name, she puts forth this energy and experience into every new opportunity that comes her way.
