Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Pablo Aguirre. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Pablo thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Do you wish you had waited to pursue your creative career or do you wish you had started sooner?

A Life in Music: From Childhood Curiosity to Professional Passion

I remember being just five or six years old, sitting on the steps of our home, completely absorbed in music. My father owned a harmonium—an instrument that looked like a small piano but was played with the breath, like a wind instrument. I would listen to the records my mother played on the turntable, memorize the melodies, and then find them on the harmonium. It all came so naturally to me that I assumed it was just as easy for everyone else.

As I grew older, music quietly became a central part of my life—so much so that I barely noticed its growing presence. My family admired my talent, but it never went beyond that admiration. During my teenage years, as my musical abilities began to blossom, I actually tried to hide them. My schoolmates didn’t share the same gift, and I didn’t want to be “the different one.”

My mother, however, believed in nurturing my skills. She enrolled me in guitar lessons, but eventually, my teacher ran out of things to teach me. We ended up just making music together. She later found me an organ teacher, but that path didn’t progress either. And so, my musical journey paused for a while.

It wasn’t until high school that things began to shift. Older musicians—professionals with bands—took an interest in me and invited me to play with them at weddings, parties, and social events on weekends. That was when I truly began to share my talent with the world.

At 22, while studying Business Administration at university and working as a junior account executive at an advertising agency, I also started creating the occasional jingle. By then, many people had already urged me to leave Ecuador and study music abroad. My father was serving as Ecuador’s consul in Los Angeles, and my brother was also studying there, so I saw the perfect opportunity to pursue that dream.

I enrolled in a music school in Los Angeles, intending to study for a while and then return to my structured life. I completed three years of music theory and piano, but eventually ran out of money. I worked for a year to save up for the next program—Arranging and Composition. A year later, I won the school’s only scholarship, awarded for my final composition performed with a live orchestra. That opened the door for one more year of studies, this time in Film Scoring.

During this time, I met a friend who became my creative partner, and together we began producing music. Our work eventually reached Warner Mexico, marking the true beginning of my professional career. From that moment on, my desire to return to Ecuador slowly faded, replaced by a new chapter filled with opportunity, growth, and a lifelong commitment to music.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Who Am I?

I’m originally from Ecuador, and music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. At the age of 22, I moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue formal studies in music. I spent four years immersed in music theory, piano, arranging and composition, and film scoring. While studying at the renowned Dick Grove School of Music, I was honored with the institution’s only scholarship for my work in arranging and composition—a privilege that allowed me to continue my education and deepen my craft.

Years later, my career began with the production of commercials for radio and television. Eventually, I partnered with a friend to produce our first rock album. Although the album itself didn’t make waves, it caught the attention of Warner Mexico. While the project didn’t move forward, my talent was recognized, and from there, I began collaborating on various projects for Warner. That marked the beginning of a steady rise, as my music gradually opened new doors.

What Does My Company Offer?

My journey began as an amateur instrumentalist, playing piano and guitar. Over time, I became passionate about arranging and production. I launched my career at a turning point in the music industry—right as the digital era began to replace analog. I’m fortunate to have experienced both worlds, and this dual perspective has shaped my creative approach.

Today, I offer a wide range of services including musical arrangement, composition, digital programming and editing, orchestral conducting, and production for both small and large ensembles. My work spans film scoring, artist development, music for TV series and shows, as well as the creation of jingles and voice-over production. We also provide music publishing services for composers through our own publishing division.

Thanks to my Latin roots and American musical education, I have a deep appreciation and understanding of a wide array of genres—Broadway, pop, country, ballads, salsa, cumbia, Afro-Latin, jazz, Latin jazz, classical music, and more.

My career in the industry has brought me great satisfaction, including four Latin Grammy Awards in roles such as producer, recording engineer, and mixing engineer. I’ve also received multiple certificates from the Grammy Academy in recognition of my work on various award-winning projects.

Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

The Value of Time in a Creative Life

Looking back, I wish I had made better use of my time. When you work for yourself, it’s easy to fall into the illusion that you have all the time in the world to do as you please. But in reality, that’s when discipline becomes more essential than ever.

The creative process is a unique and often unpredictable journey. You never truly know what will come of a song when you first begin writing it. But if you approach your craft with dedication, attention to detail, professionalism, and above all, passion—your work will bear fruit, even if it takes time.

I remember one particular melody that lingered in my mind. I made the effort to sit down at my computer and capture the idea. I stored it away, not knowing what would become of it. Then, one day, someone asked me to submit a theme for a morning television show. I didn’t have anything else readily available, so I presented that piece. To my surprise, it became the show’s main theme—and aired every single day for the next four years.

Had I been more disciplined and intentional with my time, I could have created so much more. I could have built a larger, more versatile music library. In the life of an artist, time is our most valuable resource—second only to knowledge. Making the most of it is not just wise, it’s essential for growth and fulfillment

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The True Reward of Creating

For me, the greatest reward lies in the creative process itself—the magic of building something from nothing until a piece of music is fully realized. Whether it’s a jingle, a song, a theme for a telenovela, or a film score, the act of creating is the most fulfilling experience an artist can have.

I remember a time when my creative partner and I were working on music for a telenovela. We weren’t given much time—just one month to compose, record, produce, perform, mix, and master ten original tracks. It was an intense schedule, and we ended each day completely exhausted, but deeply satisfied.

Then came a moment I’ll never forget. I turned on the TV and saw the program where our songs were featured. It had been filmed at the Azteca Stadium in front of more than 70,000 people. The crowd was singing along—word for word—with every song we had written. Witnessing that was the most profound satisfaction I’ve ever felt.

That moment reminded me of the power of music—not just to entertain, but to connect, to move, and to make people genuinely happy. To know that your work can touch hearts and leave a mark on so many lives—that is the true reward of being an artist.
