“I believe every story has its own voice, and my role is to discover the music that brings it to life.”
I'm a film composer and music producer based in Guatemala and El Salvador, writing original music for feature films, documentaries, and television.
With a background in music production for audiovisual media and sound engineering, as well as training in medicine and psychology, I bring both technical precision and a deep understanding of human emotion to every score. I collaborate closely with filmmakers to create music that deepens emotion, supports the narrative, and leaves a lasting impression.
