JAVIER LIMON

COMPOSER&PRODUCER

Young producer, composer and performing artist Javier Limn is already a

legend of Latin American culture. Javier Limn (Madrid, 1973) graduated from

the Madrid Royal Conservatory, where he studied piano and guitar. He is an

active composer and producer who began composing for flamenco artists but

has since expanded his reach to Latin jazz musicians and Cuban artists.

His many composition and production credits include major albums by

renowned artists such as Paco de Luca, Bebo Valdes, El Cigala, Enrique

Morente, Wynton Marsalis, and the acclaimed Spanish singer Concha Buika

among many others.

Recording from Bogota to Paris and New York to

Palestine, the artist incorporates a decidedly

international vibe in his take on the traditions of

Flamenco.

Raised in Spain, Limon traveled to New York City

at an early age to train in the arts schools of the

US. It was there that he was discovered for his

potent and powerful lyricism and composition.

Grammy Award winner and

winner of 7 Latin Grammys among

many others, Limn is already lead reference in

Spain.

One of his latest album productions,

Traveller by Anoushka

Shankar, has just been nominated to

the Grammy for the Best World

Music Album 2013.

Employed by powerhouses of the flamenco world,

such as Enrique Morente and Remedios Amaya, to

work his magic, Limons ability to weave fairytales

with his unique twists on the genre garnered him a

Latin GRAMMY in 2004 for Producer of the Year.

Limon has gone on to win a total of seven Latin

GRAMMYs, one GRAMMY and many more

nominations.

Javier Limn has combined several professional

occupations in the world of art and

communication. Although his core activity has

been focused on composition, production and art

direction on all types of projects, from albums to

film scores and tv shows among others, his work

as a communicator and teacher is likewise

remarkable.

Currently he blends his artistic commitments with

solidarity projects and with his work as a teacher

and artistic director of the Mediterranean Institute

at the prestigious Berklee College of Music.
