Manuel Calderon, also known as Comanche Sound, is a Mexican-American Grammy nominated producer,[2] Recording and Mixing Engineer from the border cities of El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua.
Manuel Calderon began playing guitar and bass at age 13. Being exposed to several music genres throughout his life, he developed flexibility and spontaneity that allowed him to discover a unique way to create and present his music in different genres such as: pop, dream pop, rock, indie, ska, Latin and Mexican traditional music.
Calderon gained much experience from very important producers and engineers. He then decided to do his own music production company called "Comanche Sound". In this company he had the chance to produce/engineer albums from artists and bands like Hello Seahorse!, Ximena Sariñana, Enjambre, Beach House,[6] etc.
In 2011, Manuel met Hector Carreon while working at Sonic Ranch, later forming a band called "The Chamanas" in 2013. Both engineers decided to join forces and combine their music production skills and knowledge into their own music. The Chamanas were nominated[7] for a Latin Grammy[8] in 2016 as "Best New Artist[9]" almost a year after the release of their debut album "Once Once". The album was produced and engineered by Manuel Calderon and mainly written by Hector Carreon.
He has also performed at important venues across the country and international festivals such as Vive Latino,[11]LAMC,[12] Almax, SXSW, Neon Desert, among other.
