Juan Carlos Enriquez
Juan Carlos Enriquez—now, this guy’s a total beast in the music world. Born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, he’s got more awards than most people have coffee mugs. Three CLIOs? Yup. Hollywood Music In Media Awards noms? You bet. He even snagged a spot in the Recording Academy’s “GRAMMY Next” program, which is basically like getting a golden ticket in the music biz. Oh, and he’s cooked up music for projects that went on to grab Golden Globe and BAFTA nods. Casual, right?
He recently put his stamp on NBCUniversal’s first Spanish-speaking streaming show for Peacock, ‘Til Jail Do Us Part (or Armas de Mujer, if you’re watching on HBO Max in Latin America). The score? Recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood—yeah, the same place legends have played. The music’s playful, fresh, totally Miami, and honestly, it just slaps.
Then there’s the Netflix series The Secret of the Greco Family. Juan Carlos went off the deep end here, making custom instruments (because why not?) and using stuff like door locks and chains to create these gritty, unsettling vibes. It fits the show’s creepy true story perfectly.
He’s also behind the music for HBO Max’s Can’t Quit Mom, plus a Forza Horizon 5 promo short for Microsoft that stars Cristo Fernandez and Karol G. Not exactly small potatoes.
Juan Carlos’s fingerprints are all over major projects with people like Darren Aronofsky, Robert Rodriguez, and even Leo DiCaprio. His credits list is just bonkers—Maya and the Three, Narcos, Furious 7, The Commuter, Far Cry 6, Need for Speed: Heat, and a load of Super Bowl ads. Basically, if you’ve watched TV or played a game lately, odds are you’ve heard his work and didn’t even know it.
