Javier Gimeno-Bayon was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1980. His interest in music began at an early age. Whilst studying neuroscience, Javier had the opportunity to score for various short films at the Barcelona film school Escac. This opportunity gave him a deeper understanding of music as a dramatic art form and he thrived in this experience giving rise to his desire to become a film score composer. Javier then took lessons with the award-winning composer Leon Willett. After completing his studies with Leon Willet, Javier then sought further studying from renowned composers Joan Albert Amargós and Lluis Verges.
In 2014 became a collaborator of Discordian Records, a net-label for independent music that has become a cornerstone for Barcelona's underground avant-music scene. Later that year Javier became Co-Founder of Barcelona based International music company Summer76music which specializes in music for advertising with international clients such as Coca-Cola, VW, Red Bull & Nike to name but a few.
As an orchestrator, Javier has collaborated with Oscar-nominated Javier Navarrete, three-time Grammy award winner Pharrell Williams or the Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi. He also has orchestrated Palme d'or 2016 winner and Oscar nominated multi-awarded short-film "Timecode".
