Juan García-Herreros
Juan García-Herreros, or as he's known in the music world, Snow Owl, isn’t your average bassist—this guy’s a force of nature. He’s racked up a Latin Grammy® nod, which, let’s be honest, is no small feat, and in 2019, readers from Music Radar, Bass Player Magazine, and UK Bass Guitar Magazine all crowned him “Best Bass Player in the World.” Not exactly your everyday accolade. The dude’s basically played everywhere, sharing the stage with a who’s-who of Grammy and Oscar winners, just casually rubbing elbows with the top tier.
And then there’s his recent stint with Hans Zimmer—yeah, that Hans Zimmer. Snow Owl’s bass is all over the epic soundtrack for Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune.” That score didn’t just get a Grammy nomination; it pretty much bulldozed the 2022 awards season, snatching up an Oscar, a BAFTA, and a Golden Globe. Not bad for a guy with a bass, huh? Snow Owl’s not just a guest star, either. He’s a key player in both “Hans Zimmer Live” and “The World of Hans Zimmer” tours, bringing those legendary film scores to life on stage with some serious energy.
And just when you think he might slow down, nope—he’s got a sound collective called Totem Warriors, busy cranking out soundtracks for video games and films. Snow Owl’s not just performing—he’s shaping the soundtracks people remember, setting moods, and raising bars everywhere he goes.
