Christian Alexis is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based narrator, writer, musician, recordist and audio mixer that found audiobook narration through helping his wife, partner and narrator, Mariana Olmeda, as she went on her own audiobook narration journey. Having been in the music and audio world for two decades, editing and engineering audiobooks became a natural progression in his career, one that married his passion for storytelling with his love of audio. With MFA and BA degrees in English and Creative Writing, this created a whole new way to explore his love for story.

With a commitment to deliver speech with feeling and depth, Christian continues to develop his approach to narration in the fiction and non-fiction spaces, with a special love for bilingual (English and Spanish) material as a native Spanish speaker thanks to his upbringing in Puerto Rico. He has narrated titles by K. Bromberg (Play Hard Series), Lauren Biel (Unethical), C.S. Silverne (Contrition) and more.
