Juan Esteban Arango (also known as Juan Arango) is a music composer, producer, and performer who specializes in the composition of original music for film, television, video games, and multimedia. He has written music for clients including NBC, ABC, Avalanche Studios, Amazon.com, and Hulu, among others. 

​

Born and raised in Santiago de Cali, Colombia, he picked up the electric guitar at the age of ten. After spending his teenage years studying music theory and performing, he left his home country to further pursue his music education at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. He graduated in 2017 with two bachelor's degrees in “Contemporary Music Production” and “Guitar Performance”. Soon after, he moved to New York City where he began working as a performer and music instructor. In 2020, he obtained a Master's degree in film composition from NYU Steinhardt.

​

Over the years, Juan has written countless musical compositions for a diverse number of projects (such as television shows, short films, commercials, documentaries, video games, podcasts, and commercial releases). His music is frequently heard on network television (some credits include "Dateline" [NBC] and "20/20" [ABC]). In addition, he has worked on a number of independent projects (some of which include award-winning films and video games).  ​

​

Due to the fact that Juan started "gigging" at an early age, he has gained a great amount of performance experience. He has collaborated with many New York City artists and performed at several establishments such as Rockwood Music Hall, The Knitting Factory, Pianos, The Bowery Electric, and Nublu. This has allowed him to make lasting relationships with a great number of musicians and instrumentalists, which he frequently features in his recordings.

 

Other than that, Juan is a hard worker and a passionate artist. He is fluent in both Spanish and English, however, music will forever be his mother tongue.
