Ashyar Balsara
Ashyar Balsara is a Mastering & Mixing Engineer who graduated from Abbey Road Institute London in 2017. Shortly after, he joined Island City Studios in Mumbai as an engineer. He became part of the team even before the studio was fully operational, contributing significantly to the final stages of construction and the setup of all audio equipment. He also helped train assistant engineers — an experience he describes as deeply enriching.
Today, apart from teaching at Abbey Road Institute Mumbai, Ashyar primarily focuses on mastering and mixing. His portfolio spans a wide range of projects, including Netflix true crime documentaries like Indian Predator, wildlife films, BBC Radio 4 audio dramas such as The Jungle Book, commercial Bollywood productions, independent music, movie background scores, podcasts, and audiobooks. The diversity of projects continues to inspire Ashyar in his day-to-day work. He looks forward to delivering exceptional studio experiences for artists and clients, while actively working to refine and improve studio systems and workflows.
