Luís Pacheco

Luís Pacheco is a young musician, composer, and producer from the Azores, born on 18 August 2005.

Luís' desire to pursue a musical career began at an early age when he started learning his main instrument, the trumpet, in an Azorean philharmonic band. As the years went by, he decided to further his musical knowledge by enrolling at the Ponta Delgada Regional Conservatory in 2020.

In 2021, he decided to move to Chaves on the mainland of Portugal, where he completed his vocational course as a wind instrumentalist.

In 2023, he began his compositional career, being responsible for creating the soundtrack ‘Memórias de um Corpo’ in partnership with PlayBleu, a project presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lisbon, and in 2024, at the ‘Entre-Curtas’ International Film Festival in Chaves. He also participated in the IFMC Summer in 2023 and became a verified composer on Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, and YouTube.

He has attended several film composition and music production courses such as: ‘Music Productions For Films’, taught by Professor Simon Smith; ‘Introduction to Music Production’, by Nicolas Astegiano; ‘Music Theory and Scoring for Film’, taught by Juan Dussán and Alex Wakim; and ‘Introduction to Soundtrack: Music for Your Animation Project’, taught by professors Gustavo Kurlat and Rúben Feffer.

Luís Pacheco is currently preparing to enter higher education, with the aim of specialising in music production and composition for film, theatre, games, and television.
