Sergio Escoda (The Netherlands, 1990) is about as versatile as they come: with a half
Spanish, half Dutch background, he is active as a composer, lyricist, multi-instrumentalist,
arranger, producer, mixing engineer, educator and more.
After graduating from the Conservatory of Amsterdam in 2016, with bass and keys as his
main specialisations, Sergio set out on his journey as a studio creative and live performer.
He played in well known Dutch bands such as Di-Rect, EUT, The Womb & Reindier –
touring nationally and internationally. Early 2020 he decided to focus primarily on his
studio work, composing for games, commercials, film, documentary, theater and cabaret.
He works from his own studio in Amsterdam.
Aside from commissioned creations, Sergio also very much enjoys working closely with
other musicians and creatives on studio albums, EPs and singles, and specialises in
helping others materialise their musical vision and ideas. Although he has a strong
musical taste – specifically harbouring a deep love and appreciation for killer ‘song-
songs’ – one of Sergio’s most interesting attributes is the fact that he is is open to, and
skilled at, collaborations all across the genre spectrum. For Sergio, anything goes – he is
not genre bound, and has creations to his name in indie pop to latin music, from to
electronic to world, rock and experimental.
His goal is to make music accessible, regardless
of musical complexity. To him, good music is music that makes sense.
