Juan Catalano on SoundBetter

I'm an award-winning composer/producer from Buenos Aires, specializing in original scores for film and advertising! With experience working for brands like Disney, Lego, and McDonald's, my music has been recognized at festivals all over the world. I'd love to create beautiful, meaningful music for your project together!

Trained in both classical and contemporary styles, I have composed music for renowned brands alongside scores for short and feature films and documentaries.

My recent work was shortlisted at Festival Circulo de Oro for best original music for Movistar's short film "This is Not a Game," which garnered multiple awards at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Additionally, the original score I did for the feature-length film "Gala y Kiwi" contributed to its celebration at the 77th Edinburgh International Film Festival under Lynda Myles' collection for its boldness and subtlety, marking its international premiere.

Graduated with an Honors Degree in Music Production and Music Composition for Film from Universidad Católica Argentina in 2023, I have further honed my skills through advanced courses at renowned institutions such as Berklee College of Music, California Institute of the Arts (CALARTS), and the University of Edinburgh. This comprehensive education instilled in me a deep passion for meaning, form, and beauty.

My services include:

- Composing and producing one or multiple tracks from scratch based on your vision.
- Remaking or remixing songs to match your project's stylistic approach.
- Mixing and mastering of all tracks I send you.
