Jody Nazzaro

Award-winning veteran sound designer/mixer/pilot/foodie Jody Nazzaro joined SuperExploder in early 2012 as one of the industry’s most sought after mixers. Dabbling in higher voltage as an electrician’s apprentice in his early years, he was shocked to realize that lower voltage audio was his calling. His creativity and obsessive attention to detail is what makes his original sound design and mixing style one of a kind. Jody’s expertise spans multiple platforms including long form TV, feature length films as well as documentaries, promos and commercials for Television and Cinema. Current clients include: Publicis, The Vault, 22 Squared, DDB, Saatchi & Saatchi, USA, A&E, Spike TV, MTV, TruTV and Comedy Central. He has lent his mixing and sound design talents to spots for top brands such as Lancôme, Garnier, The Daily Show, ESPN, Publix, Amstel Light, Audi and Mercedes. Most recently, he crafted the audio for the award-winning documentary on Autism, “I Want To Say.” When Jody’s not pushing faders for his clients, he’s usually pushing the throttle in a Cessna at 5000 feet.
