Pablo Marcelo Ramírez is a Colombian composer, classical guitarist and music producer based in NYC.

He studied guitar and music production in Bogotá at the Universidad de los Andes. From 2013 to 2014, he lived in China and privately studied with professor and guitarist Mr. Chris Wong in Hong Kong. There, he attended master classes with Alvaro Pierri, René Izquierdo and Pepe Romero.

After returning to Colombia and finishing his bachelor’s, he soon started collaborating in film scoring and audiovisual media projects.

In 2018, he coordinated and composed music for different chamber music concerts along with the “Colectivo de Compositores y Creadores Colombianos” in different halls of the city; among these, the concert series Desde la Mente del Compositor, a project in the search of establishing new approaches for audiences to contemporary composition.

Marcelo became a self-taught composer, however, he consolidated his skills studying with composer and professor Gustavo Parra and at the Berklee Online program.

His intuitive process has led him to an exploration of various styles resulting in an eclecticism that is expressed throughout his work. In a constant state of quest, the search of innovation, representation & abstraction, individuality, spirituality and beauty are the personal foundations of his creative process.

Marcelo has composed for the “VASTO” and Bogota Chamber Orchestra ensembles, worked as a producer for the Colombia National Symphony Orchestra, recorded with the Budapest Art Orchestra among others.

Awarded with the MSM and ICETEX scholarship “Jovenes Talento,” he is currently pursuing his master’s in composition with Dr. Reiko Füting at the Manhattan School of Music.
