Available to hire
Hi, I’m Gerardo Antonio Escalante. With over two and a half years of experience, I’ve been deeply involved in music production and sound design for game developers, virtual reality producers, and filmmakers. I love creating immersive soundscapes and compositions that enhance storytelling and user engagement.
I also lead a music production studio where I get to mentor and teach young aspiring musicians and sound designers, passing on the skills and passion that have driven my career. Whether it’s EDM beats or orchestral scores, I enjoy blending traditional instruments with digital tools to bring sounds to life.
