Biography

Fabricio Espinoza, known artistically as Nagatak, was born in Costa Rica in 1996. From an early age, he showed a deep interest in piano, classical music and musical composition. His dedication and innate talent led him to excel as a pianist during his early years as a musician, giving him the opportunity to perform in prominent theaters and auditoriums in his native country.

Later, Fabricio decided to continue his musical training and enrolled at the Vonkelemen Institute in San Jose, Costa Rica, where he specialized in music production and graduated as a sound engineer. It was during this period that his fascination with synthesizers and electronic sounds began to take shape, fusing his passion for piano keys with the creation of new sounds.

Determined to hone his skills and expand his knowledge in the field of music production and sound design, Fabricio immersed himself in an intense period of study and experimentation. He began composing his own works, which combined elements of classical music with the futurism offered by synthesizers.

Over time, Fabricio sought opportunities to improve his technical and creative mastery. He embarked on a new stage of learning by obtaining a certification as a “Pro Tools Professional User” at Avid University, and became one of the first in the world to receive an official certification from Dolby as a “Dolby Atmos Mixing Professional”.

All these achievements and experiences culminated in the creation of his new artistic identity and musical project: Nagatak.

Since then, the artist has been working permanently on this musical project.

Each Nagatak composition is backed by its copyright registration and certificate of authorship. These guarantees ensure that the works presented are original and exclusive, avoiding any possible copyright conflict. Additionally, they provide a legal basis for any collaboration or use of Nagatak’s music at events, providing security to producers in the planning and execution of their projects.
