ED - (Orchard Studio) - Composer/arranger/mixer/master - Quito

YOU TELL THE STORY, I SET THE TONE!

Do you need to produce or finish your song? which you would like it to be full of life? I can take any genre from Pop, EDM, Rock, Metal, Indie, jazz and pretty much anything else. I have been a full time producer for 5 years working with artists, songwriters, film directors, game creators around the world. I can take any piece of music or sketch and turn it into a cinema/radio professional - ready soundtrack or song!

About Me:
I am originally from Ecuador and Colombia, but have lived in Boston while attending Berklee College of Music (yes, the famous music college) and then I lived in Amsterdam to attend the Conservatorium of Amsterdam while doing my master's degree.
I work with clients all over the world and now I am starting to use Soundbetter to reach more people that I can make happy through my abilities. I play guitar, piano, bass, but my best skill is composing, programming and producing tracks from scratch, I am also member of the Latin Grammy as a producer.

How I work:
I compose music for films, videos and games, in any style you ask for.
I take demo ideas/melodies/lyrics and bring them life!
I try as much as possible to make your song be full of emotions, dynamics and power that will catch listener's attention in a second.

Services:
- Producing tracks from references if you need that.
- Producing music from scratch
