About me

I am Andrés Daniel Urzola, founder of URZY Sound Lab, a passionate musician, an individual with a creative mind for music and sound. A music composition student, skilled in sound design and music production, who is always looking forward to learning more from colleagues, friends and other people around me. Teamwork and integrity are keywords in my mindset, along with a strong desire to improve every time.

Music has been a fundamental part of my life. Although several options have arisen for my professional future, none of them have surpassed the love I have for music. Performing, producing, and arranging have been different ways through which I manifest my passion. But it is especially in composition that I see my greatest professional ambitions.

Latin music has been another of my great delights. I think that this interest has been inherited and nurtured after growing up in a Latin environment; it represents me as a person and is part of my identity. In addition to interpreting it, I take great pleasure in dancing it. As my closest friends know, I defend this Latin 'flavor' by breaking down each of its ingredients: its philosophy and its harmonic and melodic development; I savor each aspect to fully enjoy it and I firmly believe that my interest lies in that it never ceases to amaze me. Every time I try it, I discover new things that excite me and motivate me to spread it and to delight the world with this spectacular banquet.

David Jimenez

Piano teacher

David Jiménez was my first piano teacher, and he was for a long time; from my early childhood until my high school senior year. Despite my early age, he recognized my passion for music, and under his guidance, that passion was developed. Not only was he a great teacher, but also a great person, and one of my main inspirations for choosing this career path.
