Biography
[edit]José Miguel Ortegon was born in Santiago de Cali, Colombia in September 1981. He started learning the violin at age six and continued his formal music education at the Conservatorio Antonio Maria Valencia, in Bellas Artes - Cali. Later on, he added piano to his repertoire at age nine and Viola at age 15. To further refine his abilities, he attended both the Université de Paris Sorbonne 4 and the DMC DJ School in Paris, France. In addition, he gained significant experience by collaborating with independent French record producers and sound engineers from the French Touch School.
Career
[edit]For the last two decades, Sr Ortegon has been independently producing and composing traditional and emerging Latin music, resulting in the release of over 14 albums. His work has been featured in major Hollywood and European film productions, as well as in the soundtracks of video games, television series, and advertising campaigns.
Early Years
[edit]Late 90's, during his early days as a student at Berchmans school and a member of the Orquesta Sinfónica del Valle, Sr Ortegon began blend Latin music with progressive rock and Funk through descargas sessions and jam sessions with fellow students Carlos Peralta, now the guitarist of La Mamba Negra, and Luis Alfredo Sandoval, now bassist of Grupo Niche and Calle Maestra. He also formed an alternative rock group called Mushpi with students from the Universidad Autónoma in Cali, which participated in the nationwide competition 'Se Busca' organized by the record label Universal Music and music store Ortizo. They recorded two songs, submitted them, and won, representing Valle del Cauca in the compilation album. His first professional foray into production and recording came when he worked on an album by the master Francisco Zumaqué at the Guayacán studios.
At 15, Sr Ortegon read a biography on Luis Buñuel, sparking his interest in French Surrealist culture. He studied French at the Alliance Française.
Paris years (2001 -2006)
[edit]In 2001, he traveled to Paris for cultural exchange and stayed for five years, studying musicology at Sorbonne University, played Viola under direction of maestro Jacques Grimbert at the Orchestra Symphonique de la Sorbonne, and training as a DJ at the DJ DMC School under supervision of DJ HITCH. He quickly connected with artists, DJs, and sound engineers who worked with Daft Punk and Bob Sinclair.
In 2001, he founded his own independent record label, Palmacoco Records, and began self-producing his work while searching for a record deal. He realized that his music could also have potential in the film and television industry and reached out to Eurosport, a prominent sports network in Europe, through a friend who covered the Athens Olympics. His request to feature his music in one of their broadcasts was met with a positive response, leading to great success and launching his career in the audiovisual field. He returned to Colombia in 2006 to apply what he had learned.[2]
Bogotá years (2006 -2012)
[edit]After spending five years in Europe, Sr Ortegon returned to Bogotá, Colombia, where he created a new music genre called Boogaflow which fused Latin Boogaloo, Hip Hop, and Electronic Music. To promote this genre and his record label, he formed the group Palmacoco, named after his label. The group achieved immediate success, even receiving two nominations for the Premios Shock [3] and in 2013 the group was nominated for Best Tropical Fusion Album at the Latin Grammy Awards.
Production Music career
[edit]In 2010, Sr Ortegon's career took a significant turn when he received a job offer from a Parisian production company that created music content for France's leading television network, TF1. The network was in the post-production phase of a miniseries set in the Dominican Republic. Sr Ortegon quickly gained recognition in the TV and film industry for the quality and authenticity of his productions and compositions.[4]
During this time, a fellow student reached out to Sr Ortegon for help with a TV production that lacked a specific sound, which was not available from the production music providers. Sr Ortegon had long been frustrated with the film industry's misuse of authentic music, such as playing Mexican music during a scene set on a Cuban beach. He saw this as an opportunity to change the industry's approach to music and ensure that it was used appropriately to enhance the authenticity of productions. This was what he refers to as a "beautiful accident" that further fueled his passion for authentic music in the film industry.[5]
His entire discography [6] is available for Sync on APM Music, Sonoton Music [7] , MYMA-KPM, Cézame Music [8] , Kaptain Music, among others.
