Bio
Originally from Iguazú (Argentina), he graduated from the Universidad Federal de Integración Latinoamericana (UNILA) with a major in music and composition, specialized in music for video games. He currently lives in Mexico, and for the past 11 years has been a part of the VGM scene with his YouTube channel, where he has also gained notoriety for his anime music covers.
Starting in 2021, he has constantly participated in the Dwelling of Duels (DoD) competition, and he has become involved with other communities such as OverClocked Remix, Pixel Mixers and the Virtual Video Game Orchestra. Nowadays, he’s even a volunteer in the administration team for DoD‘s contest and community.
He has an immense list of collaborators, of whom Zachary Chapman is the most frequent, since he has provided bass to most of TheMan‘s repertoire. Among several other renowned artists that have lent him their talents, we have Joe Newman, Ian Martyn, evilsonic, Andromeda, Ronin Op F, angrypolarbear and Jake Helland.
His collaborative spirit and love for the scene inspired him to produce “wily theme”, an arrangement of the iconic Mega Man 2 theme that blends in countless quotes and references from other video games. It’s definitely a testament to the diversity of genres in the VGM scene, as well as to the arduous path that artists must follow in order to stand out in highly competitive environments such as DoD.
In 2024 he was awarded “Best Hip Hop Theme” in the Game Music Remix Awards, for his arrangement called “With a Little Help From My Friends”, from Super Smash Bros. Brawl & Ultimate. In this cover (as you can infer from the title), TheMan pays tribute to the camaraderie he’s found in the scene throughout his career.
