Bio

Carlos Garcia began studying violin and piano at the age of seven. His interest in soundtracks first sparked when watching old sci-fi films such as Star Trek and E.T.  In high school, he began to write his own music and practice putting music to old silent movies such as Charlie Chaplin films.  Before finishing high school, Carlos enrolled in the Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program, where he studied film and video game music with Emmy Award winning composer Hummie Mann. In 2010 Carlos enrolled at Western Washington University as a music composition major, later adding violin performance to his focus. During his time at Western, Carlos learned to write in a variety of styles ranging from jazz to classical. He gained experience writing for various instrumentation with live performances from duets to full orchestral arrangements.

In the fall of 2012, Carlos began studying with Seattle based film composer Tim Hulling while also studying composition with Roger Briggs at Western. He finally got his first gig shortly after, writing for a few student projects and gaining credit. Carlos graduated from Western Washington University with a B.M. in music composition and violin performance in 2014 and went on to receive a M.M in Scoring for Film. Currently he is working as a freelance composer for film, TV, and other related media.

Beginning in December 2015 Carlos started working for Emmy Award wining TV composer Ron Jones (Family Guy, Star Trek TNG) at SkyMuse Studios in Stanwood Washington.  As Jones' compositional assistant, Carlos has gained credits in feature films, TV series, and even album releases while studying under one of Hollywoods top composers. While working at the SkyMuse studio Carlos has also been writing and producing music for a L.A based music licensing library, gaining further skills in a wide variety of styles.
