Joaquín Mujica is a Peruvian pianist, composer, and arranger whose music is a fusion of his cultural roots with the sounds of jazz, and contemporary music. Born and raised in Peru, Joaquín grew up surrounded by music from an early age, but it wasn’t until the age of seventeen that he discovered the piano—an instrument that quickly became central to his artistic identity.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Joaquín moved to Barcelona, Spain, where he spent a year studying at El Taller de Músics, one of the city’s leading contemporary music institutions. There, he deepened his understanding of composition, harmony, and rhythm, exploring the intersection between Latin American musical traditions and jazz. That same year, he attended Berklee College of Music’s Five-Week Summer Program, an experience that solidified his decision to pursue music professionally.
Joaquín is now based in Boston, Massachusetts, where he is completing a double major in Film Scoring and Piano Performance at Berklee College of Music . His expected graduation date is in Summer 2026. His musical voice blends his Peruvian heritage with the influence of artists such as Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Roy Hargrove, and Joni Mitchell, among others.
Through his compositions and performances, Joaquín seeks to create a shared musical experience that connects people across cultures. Rooted in his background yet shaped by global sounds, he continues to explore the limitless possibilities of musical fusion.
At 24 years old, Joaquín is building a career as a pianist, arranger, and composer for media, and is open to collaborations in performance, studio sessions, teaching, and film scoring.
