The United States attracts talented artists from all over the globe, each striving to elevate their careers. Among them is Argentinian music composer Miranda Fontana, who relocated from Argentina to Boston at the age of 19 to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music.
Miranda recently highlighted her collaborative spirit by serving as a co-arranger and vocalist for the soundtrack of the film We Are Just Ghosts, directed by Kavivamen Vigneswaran. The film’s main song, “Hold Me Tonight,” composed by Joyce Oh, posed a unique challenge for Fontana, who took on this project at the special request of her friend and colleague.
“This project was a unique challenge as it’s not something I usually do, but Joyce’s request made it special,” said Fontana. “Cinema is a highly collaborative field, and I learned a lot about teamwork and collaboration with other extremely talented artists. This has been one of the most valuable experiences in my career, and I truly enjoy and learn from it.”
Currently, Miranda is collaborating with 59T Studios under the direction of Juan Lamarca on a series of commercials for Armani and Ocean Harbor. “I am very grateful for the trust Juan has placed in me with this project. I am working on it with great intensity and passion. Working with him is also a pleasure because he is an extremely talented director, and we have a great working dynamic,” Fontana commented. The commercials were filmed in Miami and are now in post-production.
In addition to her commercial projects, Miranda Fontana is deeply engaged in her upcoming EP album. This personal endeavor holds significant meaning as it draws from her own experiences and allows her musical expression to flow naturally. “These past years have been a rollercoaster of emotions, and my goal is to express that through my music. The album will be mostly instrumental, blending orchestral and electronic sounds, and will feature collaborations with artist friends I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with throughout my career,” Fontana shared.
Fontana’s impressive portfolio includes composing for television commercials in Argentina while collaborating with major companies such as Coca-Cola and LG Electronics. Her work alongside production giants like Warner Bros Pictures and HBO Max has allowed her to explore various facets of composition, solidifying her career in the music industry.
After moving to the U.S., Fontana returned to Argentina to contribute to the film Un Crimen Argentino. She was responsible for music composition and sound editing for this feature film adapted from Reynaldo Sietecase’s novel. Working with a distinguished cast including Malena Sánchez, Nico Francella, and Matias Mayer under Lucas Combina's direction along with general production by Juan Pablo Buscarini (Pampa Films) as well as Warner Pictures Entertainment, Fontana's contributions were instrumental in the film's success. The movie received accolades such as the Condor de Plata and Premio Sur while garnering positive reviews from major newspapers.
